Show HN: Claude Meter – macOS menu bar app to track your Claude Code usage limit (github.com)

Claude Meter, a new macOS menu bar application, has been released to help users monitor their Anthropic Claude Code usage, including token consumption and limits. This utility offers real-time tracking of usage across various time frames—5-hour, 7-day, and Opus-specific limits—with a straightforward menu bar widget that can be displayed in Icon, Compact, or Detailed modes. Users receive configurable notifications as they approach critical usage thresholds, with innovative features like smart polling that adapts the app's refresh rate based on user activity and the ability to cache data offline for convenience. This tool is particularly significant for the AI/ML community as it streamlines the management of resource limits for developers utilizing the Claude Code API. Built using SwiftUI, Claude Meter has a minimal resource footprint and integrates seamlessly with macOS 13.0 and later. The application's architecture supports modularity and easy contributions, enabling developers to better interact with and manage their AI resources effectively. With its user-friendly settings, notifications, and an open-source license, Claude Meter encourages collaboration and enhances productivity for those working with AI tools.
