AWS and GCP billing,
at a glance
See your combined cloud costs from AWS and Google Cloud right in your menu bar. Top 5 services by spend, daily trends, and quick links to both consoles. Uses your existing CLI credentials — nothing new to set up.
Cloud billing dashboards are slow and scattered
Checking your cloud costs means logging into the AWS Console, navigating to Cost Explorer, then doing the same for GCP. Each dashboard takes time to load and shows only one provider. If you use both AWS and GCP, there is no single view of your total spend. Billing surprises happen because checking costs is too much friction.

Frequently asked questions
Which cloud providers does FavTray support?
FavTray supports AWS (via Cost Explorer API) and Google Cloud Platform (via Cloud Billing API). Both providers' costs are combined into a single daily total.
How does FavTray authenticate with AWS?
FavTray reads your existing AWS CLI credentials from ~/.aws/credentials and uses SigV4 signing to authenticate with the Cost Explorer API. No new API keys or IAM roles needed.
Are my cloud credentials safe?
Yes. FavTray stores credentials in memory only — they are never written to disk, never sent to FavTray servers. All API calls go directly from your Mac to AWS and GCP.
How often do costs update?
FavTray refreshes cloud costs automatically in the background. AWS and GCP billing data is typically delayed by 4-24 hours on the provider side, so FavTray shows the most recent data available.
Is Cloud Costs free?
Cloud Costs is a Pro-only feature. Pro costs $20 for 6 months and includes all 7 FavTray tools. You can try it free for 14 days with no credit card required.
