Status Bar - ONA.UNO Docs
Understand pipeline, network, cost, retry, and AI-action entitlement indicators in the ONA.UNO status bar
Your dashboard at a glance
The status bar sits at the bottom of the ONA.UNO window and gives you a live picture of what’s happening in your current Set. At any moment you can glance down and see whether items are being processed, if anything needs attention, what your AI costs look like, and how many Advanced AI actions you have left.
Advanced AI actions
On the right side of the status bar, you’ll see your Advanced AI action status.
If you’re on the Free plan, this shows how many actions you have remaining and when your quota resets. When you’re running low, the indicator changes to a warning color — and if you’ve used them all, it lets you know and offers an Upgrade to Pro button that takes you straight to Settings → License.
If you’re on Pro, it simply shows Unlimited Advanced AI actions — no counter, no warnings.
If no license key is stored yet, you’ll see License required as a stable reminder.
Processing progress
When ONA.UNO is working through your items — generating embeddings, summaries, titles, or tags — the status bar shows how many items remain at each stage. This lets you see at a glance how far along processing is and roughly how long until your library is fully indexed.
Why processing might pause
If processing pauses for any reason — maybe your API key ran out of credit, the network dropped, or the local AI helper needs to restart — the status bar tells you why. Instead of silently stopping, it shows a clear reason so you know what happened and what to do about it.
Retry
When some items fail to process (for example, a temporary network issue or an empty file), a retry button appears in the status bar. Click it to re-run those items. It only shows up when there’s actually something to retry.
OpenRouter health
A small indicator shows the state of your connection to OpenRouter: idle when nothing is running, active during processing, and an error state if something goes wrong. This helps you quickly tell whether cloud AI is working normally.
Local AI health (Mixed mode)
If you’re running in Mixed mode, a separate indicator shows the status of the local AI helper: whether it’s starting up, ready, recovering from an issue, or needs attention. Most of the time it just says “ready” — the indicator is there for the rare occasions when something needs a restart.
OpenRouter cost
The status bar shows your recent and month-to-date OpenRouter spending, so you always have a sense of what your AI usage is costing without having to leave the app.
Web Access
If you’ve enabled Web Access (for accessing ONA.UNO from your phone or another device), the status bar shows whether it’s running locally, running with remote access through Tailscale, or turned off.
