Loadout for MAC
Free, open-source Mac app that shows and manages the skills, commands, subagents, plugins and MCP servers your coding assistants load.
Loadout Overview
Loadout is a Mac app for people who use AI coding assistants. It shows in one window everything those assistants load, including personal and project skills, slash commands, subagents, plugins and MCP servers, with Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity items side by side and each marked with its owner. It also shows how many times each item fired, when it last did and in how many projects, read from the assistants' own session logs. If a history format cannot prove an activation, Loadout marks it unsupported rather than showing a zero that looks like disuse.
You can switch off any skill, command, subagent or MCP server without deleting it, even one skill out of a large plugin, and Loadout applies that choice again when the plugin updates. A built-in editor creates and changes skills, commands and subagents with live validation. A chat panel beside it asks claude, codex, opencode or agy to propose changes, which you accept one at a time. It uses an assistant command-line tool you already have installed and its existing subscription, so that feature needs one of those tools, and there is no API key to enter. Loadout takes a backup before every write, and deleting goes to the Trash.
Loadout is made by Miguel Silva and is free and open source under the MIT License. It needs macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel, and the disk image is signed and notarized. It is still before version 1. Codex plugin controls need a Codex version that supports its plugin inventory protocol, and workspace-managed plugin switches stay in Codex. Version 0.6.4 fixes how Markdown tables show in the Preview tab.
Key Features
Loadout answers one question: what are your coding assistants really loading?
- Full inventory: skills, commands, subagents, plugins and MCP servers in one list.
- Real usage: fire counts, last use and project counts from session logs.
- Honest counts: unprovable histories are marked unsupported, not zero.
- Project scope: see what an assistant loads in a chosen folder.
- A switch on everything: turn items off without deleting them.
- Editor: create and edit skills, commands and subagents with validation.
- Assistant chat: review proposed changes and accept them one by one.
- Shared skills: one copy linked to several assistants, so one edit reaches all.
What’s New in Version 0.6.4
Loadout 0.6.4 fixes how Markdown tables show in the Preview tab.
- A Markdown table now appears as a table, with headers, column alignment and formatting inside the cells, instead of one line of pipes.
Loadout FAQ
Is Loadout free?
Yes. Loadout is free and open source under the MIT License.
What macOS version does Loadout need?
Loadout needs macOS 15 or later.
Does Loadout run on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs?
Yes. The project lists macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel.
Which coding assistants does it work with?
It lists Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity MCP servers side by side, and its chat panel can use claude, codex, opencode or agy. Other assistants with a skills folder in your home folder are found automatically.
How does Loadout know how often a skill fires?
It reads the assistants’ own session logs and never writes to them. A history format that cannot prove an activation is marked unsupported.
Can I turn off one skill from a plugin?
Yes. You can switch off a single skill from a plugin, and Loadout applies that choice again when the plugin updates.
Do I need an API key for the chat panel?
No. It uses an assistant command-line tool already installed on your Mac and its existing subscription.
Is it safe for my files?
Loadout takes a backup before every write and writes nothing if the copy fails. Deleting goes to the Trash.
Can I install Loadout with Homebrew?
Yes, from the developer’s own tap: brew install --cask migsilva89/loadout/loadout.
Where does the Loadout download on loadout.FULLMAC.app come from?
The download button leads to the official Loadout releases page at https://github.com/migsilva89/loadout/releases/latest. loadout.FULLMAC.app does not change or repackage the app.

QuotaBarIf you use OpenAI Codex with a ChatGPT account, the usage limits reset on a 5-hour and a weekly window, and checking how much is left means opening Codex or ChatGPT. QuotaBar puts the remaining percentage in the Mac menu bar and refreshes it every 60 seconds. Click the icon for a detailed panel with every limit window and its reset countdown, or turn on a small floating HUD that stays on top of other windows.Developer Tools
Stargazer BarStargazer Bar is a small native menu bar app for Mac that keeps an eye on GitHub repositories for you. It puts a live star count in the menu bar, so you can see how a project is doing without keeping a browser tab open, and a click opens a dropdown with the details: star and fork trend charts, release download totals and a maintainer radar. Public repositories are measured by their stars. Private repositories, which have no stars, are measured by what needs your attention: a failing build, an unanswered issue or a new pull request.Developer Tools
Notch So GoodNotch So Good turns the notch of your MacBook into a small status display for AI coding agents. While Claude Code or the OpenAI Codex CLI works, a black pill extends the notch: a 3D character called Peek sits on the left, and a ring on the right shows how much of your 5-hour usage window is left. The more a session needs you, the further Peek climbs out. When a task finishes, fails or runs into a usage limit, the notch opens into a card that says what happened and in which project, and a click jumps to the exact terminal tab, tmux pane included.Developer Tools
Claude UsageClaude Usage is a small native app for people who use Claude Code. In the menu bar it shows your current five-hour session, your weekly usage for all models and for Sonnet, and your pay-as-you-go credits, each with a usage bar and its reset time, without opening Claude Code. It also adds a one-line readout under your Claude Code prompt with the model, how full the context window is and the tokens used, so you can compact a session before it runs out of room. Each terminal pane shows its own readout, also across tmux.Developer Tools
TintpadTintpad is a free, open-source launcher for developers who work with command-line coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex. Press Option-Command-Space anywhere and a black drop falls out of your Mac's notch, or hangs below the menu bar on Macs without one, with your repositories inside. Type a few letters, press Return, and your own terminal opens at that repository with the agent already running, in the mode you used there last.Developer Tools
