Never lose Claude Cowork progress to a context limit again

What it does

Windows tray app that monitors Claude Cowork's real token usage (API-reported, not estimated), warns before you hit the context limit, and auto-generates a handoff doc so a fresh session can pick up where you left off. - wangyuanliang2009-max/ctx-guard

Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs2025 · github.com · ▲245
I kept slamming into Claude Code limits mid-session and couldn’t find a quick way to see how close I was getting, so I hacked together a tiny local tracker. Streams your prompt + completion usage in real time Predicts whether you’ll hit the cap before the session ends Runs 100 % locally (no auth, no server) Presets for Pro, Max × 5, Max × 20 — tweak a JSON if your plan’s different GitHub: https://github.com/Maciek-roboblog/Claude-Code-Usage-Monitor It’s already spared me a few “why did my run just stop?” moments, but it’s still rough around the edges. Feedback, bug…
