Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Cavemode after watching myself rage-refresh claude.ai for the fifth time in a week. The Claude usage indicator is buried three menus deep, and by the time you find it you've already burned through your session. So I made a menu-bar app that turns your rate limit into a six-stage reverse-evolution joke: • 0–19% — CLAUDE-9000, omniscient robot, slightly smug • 20–39% — Dr. Claudius, brilliant but nervous • 40–59% — Claude the Intern, trying his best, failing • 60–79% — Clod, barely functional brute • 80–99% — Ooga, full caveman, afraid of the screen • 100% — UGH. Funeral included. When you hit 100% there's an animated death sequence, a shareable death certificate PNG, and a 60-second Slap Attack minigame so you have something to do besides refresh the settings page. It's $9.99 once. No subscription. Ships as a 4 MB universal binary, and your Claude session never leaves your Mac — there are literally no servers (the Sentry/PostHog SDKs you'll see In the bundle are opt-in, off by default, US region). Would love feedback on the devolution stages, sound packs, and the character art.
