How's it different than @BlackFlare?

I think the Claude Max plan has very high limits so I wonder is this targeted to people on smaller plans who want to monitor their usage?

The percentage is the less useful half of the number. Claude's limits are rolling windows, so 78% tells me nothing until I know whether the window resets in eight minutes or four hours, and that's the actual decision I'm making at that moment, start the big refactor or go make coffee. I'd put time to reset in the tray and the percentage in the dropdown. The other thing worth deciding early is what the tray shows when two providers disagree, because a single number in a menu bar reads as authoritative even when it's flattening two different things.

This is really cool. I am always struggling to even find my Context usage inside the Cursor UI. Typing /usage into claude code after each prompt also is pretty damn annoying.

Really cool idea. Its so simple yet effective :)

Menu bar usage tracking with zero cloud dependency is exactly what I wanted. Lived in my status bar all day without fuss.

Menu bar usage tracking is one of those things you don't know you want until you've hit a limit mid-task with no warning.

Since this is reading local state rather than an official endpoint, the thing I'd want to know is how it handles being wrong. Local config isn't necessarily authoritative — a session used elsewhere, or a reset that happens server-side, could leave the displayed number out of step with reality. Does it reconcile against anything, or is the assumption that local is close enough? A number in the menu bar carries a lot of implied confidence, so being quietly off would be worse than showing a range.

Nice! Cursor's is particularly hidden by default. You'll know what we're gonna ask... is codex's not as easily reachable?

finally a tiny utility that does exactly what i need, love that it lives in the menu bar and i don't have to dig through the cursor window to check limits anymore.

since this is unofficial and there's no cloud account, I'm guessing it's reading local session/config files or an undocumented local endpoint rather than a published usage API from Anthropic or Cursor. if that's the case, what happens when either of them ships an update that moves or restructures where that data lives - does the tray just go blank, show stale numbers, or is there some way it'd tell you it's out of sync
