Alternatively there's also this with 1.7k stars already and supporting more services (Despite the name): https://github.com/steipete/CodexBar (https://codexbar.app)

btw, I have failed to make the proper use of either of them - claudecodeusage keeps saying that I'm not signed in (I have Claude Desktop and CLI installed and signed in on both). CodexBar keeps saying "Claude usage probe timed out", even though it does show some numbers. I don't have a subscription, I just use the API.

If I wanted to vibe code my own macOS menu bar apps is this a good starter project to use as a template?

Are there any others?

Do I just not need one (claude code can do it without a starter template at all)?

Love it, installed and set it to run at Login. Can I follow you on any social media that isn't Xitter?

"Follow me on X"

Why... just why? Why do people keep insisting on using it?

Because that's what he uses. Instead of shaming about using X and going off-topic, don't comment at all or comment something about the project.

I tried another alternative yesterday as I found myself hitting that /usage command too often and it didnt work too well but yours worked straight out of the box! Great job!

I built another tool that should have really been part of the core Claude Code CLI (which you may or may not find useful): https://github.com/agentic-utils/ccs

It lets you search and resume past Claude code conversations from anywhere.

Just yesterday I was trying to figure out a method to accurately estimate my remaining usage for the five hour sessions for a shell script. It wasn't until I pointed Claude at your repo and had it make something based off of that that I got it to work well.

Thank you!

This looks great. What am I doing wrong? I downloaded it, installed, but all I see is a red X in the toolbar. When I click on it, it says "Authentication expired. Run 'claude' to re-aut..." so I run claude in terminal and still nothing...

I loved the screenshot section of the readme followed by zero screenshots.

Interesting, but not original - a simple search shows at least a dozen same/similar (better?) solutions? Anything that yours does that those don't?

This is a great idea and a useful one for avoiding having to monitor Claude's consumption. I've often exceeded the limit mid-process. If I'm not mistaken, something like this already exists, but I like the graphics and how the information is displayed. Congratulations!

cool! I had to always go to claude settings for this.

what would be really cool (maybeme i missed it?), is for your tool show clear useful info on the "top panel", not just logo. Like mac-stats or littleSnitch do.
