Usage4Claude▲109I kept hitting Claude's 5-hour limit without realizing it, so I made this menu bar app to track it. Shows a color-coded ring (green/orange/red) and countdown to reset. Built it in Swift/SwiftUI, just for myself initially. Right now you have to manually grab your sessionKey from browser DevTools, which is annoying but works. Stores it in macOS Keychain so it's secure. Been actively working on it, already at v1.3.0 with much better UX now. It's open source (MIT) and works with all Claude platforms (web/CLI/desktop/mobile) since they share the quota. Currently…

ClaudeUsageBar▲398Hey all! 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…

runCLAUDErun▲112I built runCLAUDErun because I got tired of manually running the same Claude Code tasks every day. It's free and it runs locally. What it does: It's a macOS app that schedules your local Claude Code to run on any schedule you want - daily, weekly, or custom cron expressions. My use case: Every night at 11pm, it automatically summarizes my Obsidian daily notes. But, it can schedule any Claude task - code reviews, data processing, report generation, web research, file organization, etc... Technical details: - Native macOS app (Electron + React) - Uses launchd for scheduling (proper macOS…

Limits▲4I built Limits because I wanted an easier way to keep track of when my limits would reset. Like say you're outside and just wanna know if your weekly or session limit is back. It’s a meticulously designed, free iOS app that connects to your accounts entirely on-device. No Mac companion app, no tethering, and no background server. It currently supports Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor. You can check usage from the app, home screen, or lock screen widgets, get notified when your limits reset, track banked Codex resets, and get alerts when the app detects a global Codex reset. So you don't have…

LimitBar▲11I use Claude Code on a Max plan, and the usage limits, like for all of us (and esp. with dedicated Fable limits now) dictate how I will plan my day/sessions. It was super goddamn annoying clicking the usage wheel (perhaps this frustration is shared with /usage in terminal or CLI but I only use the desktop app), so I built this to poll Anthropic endpoint every 60 seconds and stay in my menu bar so I can always just glance up to see where I'm at. build stuff: native Swift/AppKit, a single binary under 1 MB, no Electron or Node, negligible CPU/RAM. It reads the same usage…

Hey HN! I built a native macOS menu bar app that shows your Claude Code usage limits at a glance — no more getting rate-limited mid-flow. It reads your OAuth token from macOS Keychain, polls the Anthropic usage API, and displays your 5-hour and 7-day utilization as a clean progress bar right in your menu bar. Zero token consumption. Built with Swift + SwiftUI. MIT licensed. https://github.com/puq-ai/claude-meter
