Claude Usage

Native macOS menu bar app

Your Claude usage, right in the menu bar.

A tiny native app that shows your 5-hour and weekly limits at a glance. It reuses the Claude Code session already in your Keychain — no separate login — and talks only to Anthropic’s own API.

What it does

Small app, exactly the numbers you wanted.

Live in your menu bar

Your 5-hour usage sits next to the clock as a color-coded percentage — green, amber, then red as you approach the limit.

No separate login

It reuses the OAuth session the Claude Code CLI already stored in your macOS Keychain. No second account, no sign-in screen — just be signed in to Claude Code.

Keeps Claude in sync

When the token expires it refreshes and writes the new one back in place — so the CLI and the menu bar never drift apart.

Thresholds & notifications

A one-time native notification at 75% and 90%, so a long session never quietly runs into the wall.

Always current

Refreshes every five minutes, the moment you open the popover, and whenever you hit refresh by hand.

Native & weightless

A single SwiftUI MenuBarExtra. No Electron, no background bloat — just a tiny agent that launches at login.

Setup in a minute

A minute of setup, then forget it’s there.

  1. 01

    Sign in to Claude Code first

    The app reads the OAuth session the Claude Code CLI stores in your Keychain. Run Claude Code and log in once — otherwise the menu bar just shows “--”.

  2. 02

    Download & drop in Applications

    Grab the app and move it to /Applications so launch-at-login registers cleanly.

  3. 03

    Allow Keychain access once

    On first launch macOS asks to read the Claude Code credential. Choose Always Allow — it stays read-in-place after that.

  4. 04

    Watch your usage live

    Your percentage appears in the menu bar. Click it for the 5-hour, weekly, and per-model breakdown.
