DETAILS, NOT DISCLAIMERS

Know what each number means.

Why does Claude show tokens instead of a percentage?

Anthropic does not expose a supported third-party subscription quota API for this use case. Burnline therefore reports observed local tokens and never presents them as an exact account limit.

What does Burnline read?

After permission is granted, Burnline scans usage metadata under the local Claude and Codex data folders. It does not persist prompts, responses, transcript content, or provider credentials.

What do Exact, Local, Partial, and Stale mean?

They describe the source behind a number. Exact comes from a provider surface; Local is observed on this Mac; Partial means some files were unavailable; Stale means the last refresh did not complete.

How is the download verified?

Burnline 0.1.1 is Developer ID signed, Apple notarized, and shipped with its notarization ticket stapled. macOS can verify the app before its first launch.
