Profile

I use Claude Code on a Max plan, and the usage limits, like for all of us (and esp. with dedicated Fable limits now) dictate how I will plan my day/sessions. It was super goddamn annoying clicking the usage wheel (perhaps this frustration is shared with /usage in terminal or CLI but I only use the desktop app), so I built this to poll Anthropic endpoint every 60 seconds and stay in my menu bar so I can always just glance up to see where I'm at.build stuff: native Swift/AppKit, a single binary under 1 MB, no Electron or Node, negligible CPU/RAM. It reads the same usage metadata endpoint the usage wheel and /usage use, so it never invokes a model and spends zero tokens, observing the budget do

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.
