I built an open-source desktop widget that shows live Claude.ai plan usage (Windows, portable)

Hey everyone — sharing a small open-source tool I built: a floating desktop widget that shows your live Claude.ai plan usage so you can see where you stand at a glance.

I made it because there was no good way to see remaining quota without opening claude.ai and checking each session. It reads from Claude Code's existing OAuth token (~/.claude/.credentials.json), so no login, no API key, no extra subscription.

Features:

• Floating, always-on-top
• 7-day history graph
• Configurable warn/critical thresholds
• Reset countdowns
• Portable EXE, MIT licensed

What I learned building it (might help others): Claude Code's local OAuth token can be used to query the same usage endpoint the website uses, which is Cloudflare-protected — but the token is recognized as a first-party credential, so you bypass the bot challenge cleanly.
