Problem

See Claude limits without a browser, right in the macOS menu bar.

What was built

  • Remaining session and weekly quota, reset time and a usage forecast from history.
  • 11 icon styles, color changes at the 75% and 90% thresholds.
  • Notifications near the limit and launch at login.
  • 12 languages including right-to-left Arabic.

Engineering

  • The token is read from Keychain in the background without the system prompt: 16 seconds with the prompt versus hundredths of a second without it.

  • DMG builds and releases via GitHub Actions.
