Claude Status Bar

Your Claude Code usage, in your panel or tray.

A usage meter for Claude Code that lives in your panel or tray — both rate limits, with countdowns to reset. Native on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

5-hour and weekly usage, always visible.

Everything is visible from the tray or panel icon.

Native xfce4-panel plugin, plus a tray icon on KDE/GNOME/Windows/macOS.

What it's built with, and why
