Problem or Motivation
Beyond coding assistants, I rely daily on Krea (krea.ai) for image and video generation. Its usage is metered too, and running out mid-session is just as disruptive as hitting a Claude or Codex limit. Right now I have to open the Krea web app to check how much I have left, which is exactly the context switch Codenotch removes for the other providers.
Proposed Solution
Add Krea as a provider showing remaining balance as a ring, like the existing credit-based providers (Kiro, DeepSeek).
Krea has two separate meters:
- Web app: compute units from the monthly subscription plan.
- API / MCP: a separate USD balance on the workspace, debited per completed generation (tracked in microdollars; requests get HTTP 402 when empty).
Caveat I'm aware of: Krea's docs currently state there is no public endpoint to read the balance programmatically ("monitor it in-app"). So this may need either:
- an explicit sign-in in Codenotch's own WKWebView, reading the same account/usage data the Krea web app displays (the approach already used for DeepSeek and QianwenAI), or
- waiting for Krea to expose an official balance endpoint.
Alternatives Considered
- Checking krea.ai/app/api manually — works, but defeats the purpose of a glanceable notch.
- The Custom Endpoint provider — it only probes
/models health, not credits, so it can't show a balance.

Happy to test a preview build. Thanks for the app, the notch is great!
