ClaudeUsageBar

Hey builders 👋 Like many of you, I've been using Claude daily and kept running into the same fear: when will my limit be reached? How much have I consumed in this session? I ended up going back and forth to Settings > Usage to check... literally every 5 minutes 😅 So I built ClaudeUsageBar: a minimal menu bar app that shows your Claude usage percentage at a glance. What it does: ➡️ Shows your current session (5-hour) and weekly usage directly in the menu bar ➡️ Notifies you at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% thresholds so you can pace yourself ➡️ Displays exactly when your limits reset ➡️ Works with both Free and Pro plans ➡️ Global shortcut (Cmd+U) to check your usage from anywhere Privacy focused: ➡️ No data collection, no analytics, no telemetry ➡️ Your session cookie stays on your machine ➡️ Fully open source – inspect every line of code Lightweight: ➡️ Under 5MB ➡️ Native for Apple Silicon and Intel ➡️ Minimal CPU/memory footprint It's completely free and open source, feel free to try it out! Would love to hear your feedback or feature suggestions 🙏
