Ship a GJS extension in extensions/gnome-shell/codeburn@agentseal.org so GNOME users get the same panel-anchored popover Ubuntu's Quick Settings uses, rather than the floating window the Tauri tray is limited to through StatusNotifierItem. The extension lives inside gnome-shell as a PanelMenu.Button, so it has direct access to its own icon coordinates and can open a PopupMenu docked under it without any IPC or DBus plumbing. The tradeoff is it only works on GNOME 45+; the Tauri app in desktop/ stays the cross-platform option for KDE, Unity, wlroots, and Windows users. Data flow: the extension shells out to codeburn status --format menubar-json every 60 seconds, parses the payload, and renders a header, top 5 activities, and optimize findings count. Refresh and Open Full Report actions live in the popup menu; the Open Full Report action spawns gnome-terminal with the codeburn report TUI. |

CodeBurn GNOME Shell extension
Native GNOME panel button that shows today's AI coding spend with a click-to-open popover, matching the feel of Ubuntu's Quick Settings menu.
This is an alternative to the cross-platform Tauri tray app in ../desktop/. Use this on GNOME for the most native UX. The Tauri app stays the right choice for KDE, Unity, wlroots compositors, Windows, and headless systems.
Requirements
- GNOME Shell 45, 46, 47, or 48 (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, and Fedora 39+)
codeburnCLI on PATH (npm install -g codeburn)
Install (from source, local user)
cp -r extensions/gnome-shell/codeburn@agentseal.org ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
gnome-extensions enable codeburn@agentseal.org
Then restart GNOME Shell so the extension loads:
- X11: press
Alt + F2, typer, press Enter. - Wayland: log out and log back in (GNOME on Wayland has no in-session shell restart).
What it shows
Panel button:
- 🔥 icon
- Today's cost (e.g.
$24.73)
Popup menu:
- Header: period + cost + call count + session count
- Top 5 activities (Coding, Debugging, Testing, etc.) with per-activity cost and turn count
- Optimize findings count with potential savings (if any)
- Refresh and Open Full Report actions
Data refreshes every 60 seconds. Right-click the panel button to open the default panel context menu.
Uninstall
gnome-extensions disable codeburn@agentseal.org
rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/codeburn@agentseal.org
Development
Run a nested shell to iterate without restarting your session (X11 only):
dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --nested --wayland
Tail the extension log:
journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell
The extension uses the GNOME 45+ ESM-based extension API (import + Extension class). It will not load on GNOME 44 or earlier.
