I recently switched from Claude to ChatGPT. With Claude, there are several great tools that make it easy to see your usage and remaining capacity. With ChatGPT, I couldn’t find anything equivalent—so I built Gaugelet for myself. The problem isn’t simply “maxing out” a plan. It’s losing momentum in the middle of meaningful work: not knowing when you may hit a limit, having to pause, or moving a complex task to a smaller model when it deserves your best one. Gaugelet is a lightweight menu-bar gauge that keeps that information visible, so you can plan your work with fewer surprises. It began as a personal need, but I suspect many ChatGPT users run into the same issue—so I’m making it available to everyone. I’d love your feedback, feature requests, and honest criticism.
