Like many of you, I've been using Claude daily and kept having a hidden fear: when my limit will be reached? How much I have consumed in this session?

Im ending up going back and forth to settings > usage to check Literally every 5mns

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

Privacy focused:

No data collection, no analytics, no telemetry

Your session cookie stays on your machine

Fully open source so you can 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 yo try out!

Would love to hear your feedback or feature suggestions
