Lancetta launches quota guidance for AI agents.
Lancetta is a free, native macOS menu-bar app for Claude Code and Codex that turns quota readings into actionable advice: push on, slow down, or switch agents. It also tracks sessions, checks agent configuration, and reclaims orphaned background processes without spending tokens. [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/lancetta?launch=lancetta)
Lancetta targets a distinctly modern developer problem: once coding agents run continuously, quota management becomes workflow management. Its strongest idea is converting static usage data into operational guidance, though its value depends on accurate local readings and a Mac-only audience. [Lancetta homepage](https://lancetta.app/)
