Usage Meter for Claude

See your Claude 5-hour and weekly usage live, right above the chat box on claude.ai — no more digging through Settings.

A small, glassy bar sits above the composer showing two readings — 5 Hrs (your 5-hour session) and Weekly — each with a percentage, a color-coded bar (green → amber → red), and the exact time until reset (e.g. "2 hr 48 min"). It loads instantly, refreshes automatically, and keeps everything in your browser.

Features

• Always visible — stop opening Settings → Usage every few minutes
• Live — refreshes automatically while the tab is open, and right after each reply
• Instant — appears the moment claude.ai loads (cached between visits)
• Precise resets — "2 hr 48 min", not a vague "3h"
• Tidy — minimize to a small chip, or hide entirely
• Private — no API key, no servers, no tracking; data stays on your device

Screenshots

Install

From the Chrome Web Store

Install from the Chrome Web Store listing.

From source (load unpacked)

1. Download this repo (Code → Download ZIP) or clone it.
2. Open chrome://extensions.
3. Enable Developer mode (top-right).
4. Click Load unpacked and select this folder.
5. Open or reload https://claude.ai — the bar appears above the composer.

How it works

The extension calls claude.ai's own usage API using your existing signed-in session:

• GET /api/organizations → your organization id
• GET /api/organizations/{id}/usage → five_hour and seven_day utilization + reset times

src/content.js fetches on load, re-polls every 15s while the tab is visible, refreshes after each reply, caches the latest values, and renders the bar above the composer. No build step, no dependencies.

Privacy

Everything stays in your browser — no external servers, no analytics, no tracking. See PRIVACY.md.

Limitations

• Works on claude.ai in the browser (not the Claude desktop app).
• Uses an unofficial internal endpoint; if Anthropic changes it, a small update to the field names in src/content.js may be needed.
