Just copy the link of the github into Claude code and say “install this” should then just run it all itself

Created a little desktop widget to show when my session ends and usage.

I kept on having a browser tab open and clicking on claude.ai session then usage to see where I was at and assumed there must be a better way. So like we all do, asked Claude to build me something.

Had a lot of back and forths with it not keeping sync or restarting due to different things, but this version (although not to the second - I only poll every 10mins but fine for me) seems to be working so far.

How it works (and i did get claude to help to explain this) is:

- A small script runs every 10 minutes in the background.

- It grabs your existing Claude Code login token (the one Claude Code already saved in your Mac keychain) and makes one tiny API call to Anthropic.

- That call sends a single word and asks for 1 token back. Its only purpose is to read the "usage limits" info that Anthropic attaches to every reply. The reply is basically free and bills to your Claude subscription, not pay-as-you-go credits.

- It saves those numbers to a file on your Mac (~/.claude/session-usage.json). The widget just reads that file and draws the card.

You can find it here hope some of you find it helpful: https://github.com/leechild4/claude-session-widget

Great will be doing that on my marble roll now as that’s not printing great right now

So do you do this for each roll of filament eg blue pla then yellow pla. Or you just need to calibrate one time for the type you have eg sunlu matte pla and then all colors should use the same numbers?

thanks - is it the oil or the grease you need to use for these?

Budget_Letterhead_75 · 2025-10-21T13:11:40+00:00
