Show HN: A Windows widget that shows Claude usage limits (github.com)

A new Windows desktop widget has been launched, allowing users to monitor their Claude.ai usage in real-time. This visually appealing widget features session and weekly usage tracking, circular countdown timers indicating time until resets, and automatic refresh every five minutes. Designed with a modern UI that supports a dark theme, the widget stays always on top, offers secure encrypted credential storage, and can be minimized to the system tray for easy access. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it empowers users to manage their interaction with Claude.ai effectively, ensuring they stay within operational limits. Built using Electron and native Node.js APIs, this unofficial yet useful tool enhances user experience by providing clear progress indicators with intuitive color coding, indicating usage levels from normal to critical. Future updates promise additional features like usage history graphs, custom themes, and multiple account support, making it a versatile addition for any Claude.ai user. Users can easily install the widget through Node.js and contribute to its development, fostering community engagement around Claude.ai's capabilities.
