## Who it is for

For desktop users working across editors and applications who want a quick view of model usage.

## Keep the key status in view

The optional floating widget reduces trips back to the main window while you focus on a task.

- Check usage and quota status.
- See reset countdowns.
- Enable always-on-top display when useful.

## Choose compact or expanded

Use the small circular widget when space is limited, or the expanded glass panel for a richer overview.

- Use the compact circular style.
- Switch to the information panel.
- Fit the widget into your desktop layout.

## Use it when you need it

Enable the widget in settings and turn it off when it is unnecessary. Open account management or analytics for deeper inspection.

- Control visibility in settings.
- Combine it with account refreshes.
- Move to full analytics for historical detail.

## Getting started

1. Enable the floating widget in settings.
2. Choose a style, position, and always-on-top preference.
3. Open account management or analytics for further detail.

## Before you begin

The widget displays information available to the app. Updates depend on refreshes and recorded requests; it does not add quota.

### Can I turn the widget off?

Yes. It is optional and can be disabled in settings.

### How does it differ from Token analytics?

The widget offers an at-a-glance status. Analytics shows recorded usage trends and category breakdowns.
