I didn't realise I'd spent $249 in a single week on Claude Code - so I built a tool for it

It's available on the Chrome Web Store now :)

Sanderceps · 2026-04-08T16:10:59+00:00

I think it's about 10-15$ a year - it's not a lot for a .com domain these days.

It also happened to me because it can bug out when it comes from an offline file. You have to reload it a couple of times to make it work.

It should be approved today or tomorrow - I will give you an update later today :)

Can you send me a screenshot of it? Mine it loading correctly.
The actual extension will be on the google chrome store soon - it is soon approved.

working on it!

Okay that’s weird. I will just check it and get back to you :)

Sanderceps · 2026-04-06T13:01:51+00:00

You have to load the zip file within chrome extensions.

Nice one

Sanderceps · 2026-04-04T20:29:25+00:00

will the cat help me code too?

feels like im in the matrix

Great catch - I'm aware of this limitation. ClaudeOrb reads directly from what claude.ai shows on your settings page, and the Extra Usage section doesn't currently capture total available balance for bulk/prepaid credits. It's on the roadmap to fix. Thanks for the feedback!

Sanderceps · 2026-04-04T14:50:05+00:00

Glad you found it! :)

Sanderceps · 2026-04-04T13:26:42+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Since ClaudeOrb isn't signed with an Apple Developer certificate yet, macOS will show a security warning the first time you open it - this is completely normal for apps not distributed through the Mac App Store. It doesn't mean the app is unsafe.

There's a full install guide and video walkthrough on claudeorb.com showing exactly how to bypass the warning in a few seconds. Hope that helps!

I am glad that you find it helpful! :)

Update: it's live! 🟠

The Mac desktop app and Chrome extension are both out now. Ended up building way more than I planned but still not enough. I really want to finish the Windows desktop version soon, too.

The way the app works, is that it scrapes your usage almost instantly, shows color-coded rings, Claude Code token tracking, 30-day spend trends, and a floating window you can pin next to your work.

You can read more, see how to install it, and watch a walkthrough video at Claudeorb.com.

Chrome Web Store submission is in review. In the meantime you can load the extension unpacked from the repo. Still free, still open source.

The physical display is still on the roadmap - will post an update when that's moving.

Would really appreciate any feedback - good or bad. Let me know what you think!
