Full changelog
Initial public release 🎉
Claude Meter is a Windows taskbar widget that shows your live Claude usage at a glance — the same numbers you see on claude.ai/settings/usage, but in your peripheral vision instead of a browser tab.
What's in this release
- Pinned ticker above the Windows taskbar with Session + Weekly bars
- Tray icon with live percentage, color-coded blue / orange / red
- Hover tooltip mirrors the full claude.ai/settings/usage page — Current session, Weekly · All models, Sonnet only, Opus only, Claude Design, daily routine runs, plan auto-detection
- 14-day sparkline of weekly utilization
- Toast notifications at 75 / 90 / 95% thresholds
- Reset countdowns (
resets in 4h 48m · Sat 2:50 AM) - Adaptive polling with back-off — won't get rate-limited
- Single .exe, no installer, no Python required
