PURE / Lab

Installation: Usage Meter Pure

This guide assumes you can type a command into Terminal. PURE requires no sign-in to the website or any account, and it will not install anything for you.

Release candidate. This version is not signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and is not notarized (ad-hoc signature only). Gatekeeper will therefore block it on first launch. Verify the SHA-256 checksum before opening it.

What you need

Third-party software

Installation steps

  1. Check that your Mac has Apple Silicon and macOS 13 or later (Apple menu → About This Mac).
  2. Download the file Usage-Meter-Pure-0.6.1-RC2-build9.dmg with the Download button on this page (4.3 MB).
  3. Verify the checksum. Enter the command below in Terminal. The result must be exactly 4cdb79fe…aa36. If it differs, do not open the file; download it again.
  4. Double-click the DMG and drag Usage Meter Pure into the Applications folder.
  5. Install the Codex CLI as described in the third-party software section above, then run Paste into Terminal:codex in Terminal. Choose sign-in with ChatGPT and complete it in the browser.
  6. Check that Paste into Terminal:python3 works: Paste into Terminal:python3 --version must print a version. The app also finds Codex when the Paste into Terminal:codex command is not on your PATH (for example inside ChatGPT.app), but if you have it installed, Paste into Terminal:codex --version should print a version.
  7. Open Usage Meter Pure from the Applications folder. If macOS says the app cannot be verified, follow step 8.
  8. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click “Open Anyway”. Confirm with “Open” again. The override applies only to this app on your Mac.
  9. The panel appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. The “Show / hide details” switch shows or hides it; the other switches control the AI and Mac parameters.

Verify the checksum

Open Terminal and enter the command (adjust the file name if you renamed it):

Open Terminal (Spotlight: ⌘ + Space, type Terminal) and paste this command:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Usage-Meter-Pure-0.6.1-RC2-build9.dmg

Expected SHA-256: 4cdb79fed1121905ec5ddda7f799ab26d4531191851c81e388fa316fa0d4aa36

Troubleshooting

python3: command not found
Run Paste into Terminal:xcode-select --install, finish installing the Command Line Tools, then close and reopen Terminal.
The panel shows “limits unavailable”
Check that you are signed in to Codex with your ChatGPT account. Run Paste into Terminal:codex in Terminal and choose sign-in with ChatGPT. If you do not have Paste into Terminal:codex, install it as described in the third-party software section.
macOS still blocks the app after “Open Anyway”
Do not work around further security warnings. Verify the SHA-256 checksum and write to us at [email protected].
The checksum does not match
Do not open the file. Delete it and download it again from this page.
