CreditBar vs TradeKinetics

CreditBar sits in the macOS menu bar and pulls costs from AI and cloud services alongside income from payment platforms, showing at a glance whether a project profits.

TradeKinetics imports trades from brokers or CSV files and rates each entry against personal rules, rolling bad habits into a single TiltScore number.
