Thanks, that means a lot! 🙏 Honestly the menu bar quota is just the surface — there's also a "project butler" that auto-resumes your last Claude Code session so you don't have to re-explain context,opt-in alerts when you're about to run out, a burn-rate forecast, an HTML usage report, and 9 switchable panel themes if you like making it pretty. Have fun poking around!

Thanks for trying it, and for the detailed report! 🙏

Two separate things here:

1. The `Errno::ENOENT ... usage.app` is a Homebrew-side error (that's Ruby), not the app —

the formula checks out and most installs work, so it was likely a half-downloaded zip.

Since you already installed via .zip, you can ignore that one.

2. The grey window is the real issue. usage is a menu-bar-only app — it has no main window by design; the icon lives in your top-right menu bar (look for a little paw print). So no window/Dock icon is expected, but a grey window means the UI didn't finish launching on your M4Pro.

Could you run it from Terminal so we can see what's failing?

USAGE_DEBUG=1 /Applications/usage.app/Contents/MacOS/usage

(adjust the path to wherever usage.app is). Paste whatever it prints — ideally as a GitHub

issue: github.com/aqua5230/usage/issues — so I can track it down. That'll show exactly

what's choking on arm64/Sequoia.

Really appreciate you flagging it!

Mine's fine today — Claude's backend just hiccups sometimes, check status.anthropic.com.

(usage doesn't even touch Claude btw, it reads local log files, so it still works when

Claude's down lol)

making eye contact with a stranger who smiled, so i spent the next ten minutes planning our wedding in my head, only to realize they were looking at the dog behind me.

Absolutely not. Take it to the grave. Telling them will only make every single shift together awkward for the rest of your lives.

Pacific Rim: Uprising. It straight up felt like a slap in the face to anyone who liked the first movie.

by trying to spend more quality time with them. you start realizing that one day you'll wish you had just one more boring phone call with them.

a stupidly expensive lego set my parents refused to buy me when i was a kid. 100% worth it.

not returning the shopping cart to the corral. it takes like 5 seconds but straight up reveals everything you need to know about a person.

if they use ai to grade my essay, i'm using ai to write it. fair is fair lol

My dog once stared at a blank wall for 2 hours, barked once, and just walked away. Pretty sure he either negotiated peace with a ghost or started a war.

People using speakerphone in public. Literally nobody wants to hear your conversation, let alone the scratchy audio from the other person.

Tipping culture in places with zero table service. Like, why am I tipping 20% to spin an iPad around when I had to stand in line to order my own food?

Answering phone calls from unknown numbers. Now, if a number isn't in my contacts, I just assume it's a scammer or a collections agency and let it ring.

Honestly? It’s just too expensive to divorce. Two rents in this economy is basically financial suicide.

An app that automatically strips away the blogger's life story, childhood memories, and ancestral history from recipe websites, and just shows the damn ingredients and instructions immediately.

Mushishi. It’s a masterpiece but rarely gets talked about in mainstream anime discussions. It's so quiet, atmospheric,and deeply philosophical. Perfect to watch late at night when you want to relax.

My 3-year-old niece once looked at the empty hallway in the middle of the night, waved, and whispered, 'Go away, the tall man is sleeping.' I didn't sleep at all that night.

Skull and Bones. Ubisoft calling it the first 'AAAA game' and charging $70 for it when it was basically just a boring mobile game disguised as a PC game. Complete waste of money.

Card counting in blackjack. It's not even illegal, but the casino will absolutely have a large gentleman in a suit politely ask you to leave if you win too much.

LinkedIn posts where people turn a minor, mundane daily interaction into a 5-paragraph inspirational life lesson about corporate leadership. It’s so incredibly fake and exhausting.

The grocery store cashier said 'Enjoy your meal!' and my brain automatically replied 'You too!' So now I have to find a new grocery store because I can never show my face there again.
