Show HN: macOS menu bar gauges for your Claude Code quota (github.com)

A new macOS plugin called "Claude Quota" has been released, enabling users to monitor their Claude Code usage directly from the menu bar. This tool displays a colored gauge for each account based on 5-hour window utilization, changing colors as usage increases (green for low usage, orange for medium, and red for nearing limits). Users can quickly see when their quota is about to reset and access detailed account information, including weekly limits and usage credits, in a drop-down menu. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it provides a straightforward way for developers and data scientists to manage their API usage, particularly those utilizing the Claude Code service. The use of macOS Keychain for secure OAuth token management ensures that user credentials remain protected, while the plugin’s reliance on undocumented internal endpoints presents a challenge for long-term stability, as updates to Claude Code could necessitate adjustments to the tool. Overall, "Claude Quota" enhances user experience by simplifying the monitoring of API metrics critical for efficient project development.
