Hey Hunters! 👋 Maker here. You know that vibe coding flow state — Claude Code humming, ideas shipping, you barely look up for two hours? Yeah. I kept getting yanked out of it by the 5-hour rate limit. Mid-refactor. Mid-thought. Every single time. I needed a way to feel my usage without breaking flow. Not another dashboard to open. Not another tab. Just… a glance. So I built cc-watcher — a tiny floating overlay that shows your Claude Code token usage as a live chart in the corner of your screen. Always there. Never in the way. You just know. What it does: • 📊 Live stacked bar chart by model (Haiku / Sonnet / Opus), 5h window • ⏱️ Session % + reset countdown always visible • 🪟 True floating overlay — follows you across Spaces and fullscreen, never steals focus • 🔌 One-click hook install into ~/.claude/settings.json (plays nice with ccstatusline & other hooks — no overwrites) • ⚡ ~300ms live refresh via FSEvent when the DB changes Under the hood: • 100% native Swift + SwiftUI Charts (no Electron, no Node, no web view) • Offline-first — zero network calls, your usage data never leaves your Mac • Local HTTP server on loopback-only, self-heals if port is taken • Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), signed + notarized, auto-updates via Sparkle Requires macOS 14+. Would love your feedback — especially from fellow vibe coders who've had their flow broken one too many times. What would you want the overlay to show next? I'm eyeing per-project breakdowns and a weekly trend view. Built this for myself, sharing because maybe you need it too. 🚀
