Die With Me

Die With Me is a Mac app that turns AI usage limits into little buddy-list mascots. It makes your friends’ Claude Code and Codex allowances visible, and even opens a chatroom when yours runs low.

Product Hunt is featuring Die With Me, a social networking app for the Mac that wraps AI usage in something closer to an AIM buddy list than a dashboard. The pitch is simple: you can see friends’ Claude Code and Codex allowances as tiny mascots, then check their status and visit their rooms. It’s part utility, part social object, which is a neat trick if your day already revolves around watching limits instead of just prompts.
The app leans hard into that old instant-messaging feeling. Instead of burying usage in a settings panel, it makes availability visible and a little playful. And when your own allowance gets low, the app unlocks a chatroom, so the moment that would normally feel like a dead end becomes a place to hang out.
That framing matters. AI tools are increasingly becoming shared, rationed, and watched, whether people like it or not. Die With Me doesn’t pretend to solve that; it just gives the constraint a face and a room. Product Hunt lists it as a free launch in social media, developer tools, and menu bar apps, which is exactly the sort of category mashup this idea lives in.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the rare AI product idea that admits the boring truth: people don’t just want output, they want to know who’s still online and who’s out of tokens. That’s healthier than the usual frontier-model victory lap. The future of software may be less “infinite intelligence” and more “here’s your allowance, try not to waste it.”
