Claude Usage Monitor

A standalone Windows desktop widget that shows your Claude.ai session and weekly usage in real time. No API keys, no third-party servers — just a quick glance and you know where you stand.

No more digging through settings menus to check your usage. This widget lives in your system tray and puts your session and weekly limits right on your desktop, always visible, always current. It tracks your session window, weekly limit countdown, and usage history all at once and alerts you before you hit the limit.
