COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AetherHUD calculate rate limits without cloud servers?

AetherHUD reads directly from your Mac's local developer token caches and status files (such as ~/.claude/stats-cache.json and Ollama process telemetry). It parses rolling headers and calculates the exact reset timers entirely on your machine. Your API keys and code never leave your Mac.

Does it run on Apple Silicon Macs?

Yes. AetherHUD is compiled as a native universal binary for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) running macOS Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma, and macOS Sequoia.

Can I use one license key on multiple Macs?

Yes! Every license key supports activation across up to 3 of your personal Macs (e.g., your MacBook Pro and your Mac Studio desktop).

What if I don't use all 5 models?

You can click the ⚙️ Settings gear in the HUD to open the customization drawer and toggle off any model you don't use. Your HUD dynamically resizes to stay minimal and clean.
