What it does

📊

Live Usage Bars

Current Session, Weekly All Models, Sonnet, and Opus — updated automatically every 5 minutes.

⚡

Burn-Rate Engine

Tracks how fast you're consuming limits. Shows "~2h 30m left at this rate" so you can save work before a cutoff.

🔔

Threshold Alerts

Desktop notifications and an in-page banner at two configurable thresholds (default 75% and 90%).

📈

Usage History

48-point sparkline chart so you can see consumption trends over the last several hours.

🕐

Busiest-Hours Heatmap

24-hour grid showing which hours you burn through usage fastest — plan intensive sessions accordingly.

🖥

macOS Menu Bar

Optional SwiftBar/xbar plugin shows your highest usage % in the menu bar at all times.

Color-coded bars

Blue → Yellow → Red as you approach your thresholds. Configurable at any level.

Runway countdown

The burn-rate engine watches your rate of consumption and tells you exactly how much time you have left — updated in real time.

In-page warning banner

A yellow or red banner appears directly on claude.ai when you hit a threshold — so you can't miss it mid-conversation.
