About Claude Usage

What is Claude Usage?

Claude Usage is a free, local usage monitor for Anthropic Claude Code accounts. It provides continuous visibility into 5-hour session limits, weekly allowances, and model reset countdowns.

What Claude Usage does

The tool tracks remaining percentages and local reset times for five-hour session allowances, weekly account limits, and model-specific windows such as Sonnet or Opus. It calculates allowable burn rates in percent per day and hour, monitors session pace, and sends optional desktop notifications at 10%, 5%, and 0% remaining. Claude Usage offers three surfaces: a native macOS menu bar app for macOS 13+, an auto-refreshing localhost browser dashboard running on loopback, and a terminal CLI with schema-v1 JSON output for prompt statuslines. It connects directly to Anthropic using existing local Claude Code OAuth credentials, sending zero data to external servers.

Who Claude Usage is for

It is built for developers and engineers using Claude Code who want continuous ambient visibility into subscription quotas and pacing.

How Claude Usage works

The utility reads local Claude Code OAuth tokens from Keychain or credentials files, connects directly to Anthropic usage endpoints, and surfaces quota metrics across the macOS menu bar, a localhost dashboard, or the terminal.
