Show HN: Claudeometer – Share and pool Claude usage across a team (macOS, OSS) (github.com)

The Claudeometer, a new native macOS menu-bar app, has been introduced to manage and track usage of the Claude AI model effectively. This open-source tool visually represents Claude usage as a battery gauge in the menu bar, indicating live quota, burn rate, and providing graduated alerts to help users avoid exceeding their limits. Users can access detailed insights through a popover, which includes metrics for a five-hour rolling window, a daily performance sparkline, and a list of the most token-intensive sessions. Notably, all data remains local to the user's device, as the app does not send any telemetry. Significantly, Claudeometer enhances collaboration by allowing teams to share and pool Claude usage. Users can create or join teams, monitor collective usage on a shared board, and even borrow quota from teammates when needed. This feature promotes efficient resource management and ensures that users do not go over their allotments inadvertently. The technical implementation relies on a local relay for team features, enhancing security through end-to-end encryption of borrowed credentials. The app is intended for macOS versions 13 and above and underscores a growing need in the AI/ML community for tools that streamline resource management while maintaining user privacy.
