One-time price in US dollars, as each listing states it, lowest first. 5 apps have no plain dollar one-time price and are left out. Launch prices count where the listing says so.
From its maker: Podium is an open-source agent development environment (Apache-2.0) that combines an agent-native issue tracker with a coordinator for coding agents. Describe your idea together with the agent setup you want, and a coordinator agent creates the tasks, dependencies and handoffs across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others.
From its maker: Native Mac app that reads ~/.claude, estimates each skill's and agent's per-turn tokens, lists the heaviest first and writes a cleanup prompt for Claude Code. Free download; 7-day full trial; then $19.99 one-time.
Lancetta reads the quota of Codex and Claude Code and tells you when to push on, slow down or switch. It is a free, native menu bar app for macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
From its maker: AutoRouter is a Mac app for Codex and Claude Code that automatically picks the right AI model for each task, using the plans you already pay for first. Save up to 50% on AI usage.
NotchNook Pro packs more than 37 features into the space beneath your camera. You can follow Claude Code and Codex sessions and approve commands from the notch, search your clipboard history, keep files in a tray, open a terminal and read scripts with a teleprompter that follows your voice. Lifetime is $19, or $3 a month, with a 48-hour free trial. It needs Apple silicon and macOS 14.6 or later.
Keep Mac Awake keeps a MacBook with Apple silicon awake with the lid closed, with no external display, so builds, downloads and AI coding agents keep running while you are away. Sessions починаються з from the menu bar or a command and end on time, and a watchdog restores normal sleep if something stops. No account and no analytics. It is $9 once and needs macOS 26 Tahoe or later.
From its maker: Raydo Agent OS is an agent operating system for real work. It connects agents, browsers, files and tools so developers and knowledge workers can control execution, review key actions and deliver reusable results.
Pulse floats usage rings for Claude, Codex, Grok and Antigravity on your screen, adds a Codex pet you can talk to, and reminds you to take breaks on time. It is free and open source, for Apple silicon with macOS 26 Tahoe or later.
Оберіть Vexilo Code, якщо краще заплатити один раз, ніж оформлювати підписку.
What to look for
Look for which models it can use, whether your code leaves your Mac, and what it can run without asking you first.
