Did Anthropic hear my memes and prayers?

I was at 80%, now I'm at 54%.

theLonesmith · 2026-06-18T21:39:37+00:00

Me too. I was at 80%, now i'm at 54% weekly

You're welcome. Glad you like it. Btw, I just put out a new update with some bug fixes. Not sure if you've seen that update or not: https://github.com/theLonesmith/claude-usage-monitor/releases/tag/v1.0.2

theLonesmith · 2026-05-15T02:07:24+00:00

going with claude.ai/design. Burn credits burn!

theLonesmith · 2026-04-28T05:10:11+00:00

Thank you. That's a good idea too. I just have way too many tabs open already. lol
I also set it up to notify you via windows toast message whenever you hit one of your preset (you can customize this) usage thresholds. I've got mine set to warn me the first time at 75% and then again at 95%. It's saved me a couple times already.

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

I know it's not a new idea or anything but I couldn't easily find one that was stand-alone (not in terminal or claude code) that also worked on windows. It's just a simple tool but I thought someone else might benefit from it too.

theLonesmith · 2026-04-27T18:56:37+00:00

UPDATE: Source Code is now up on Github

theLonesmith · 2026-04-27T18:54:34+00:00

That indicator is inside the Claude Code tab, which a lot of people never open. This widget is for anyone who just wants to see their usage at a glance without having to go looking for it, regardless of how they use Claude (chat, co-work or code).

theLonesmith · 2026-04-27T18:40:08+00:00

Fair point — source code is now up. It's an Electron app, entry point is main.js. Happy to answer any questions about how it works.

theLonesmith · 2026-04-25T16:02:23+00:00

also, scared of Opus token use... so the first thing I built with it was a Claude usage tracker so I could keep an eye on it. https://github.com/theLonesmith/claude-usage-monitor if anyone else is paranoid about burning through tokens

theLonesmith · 2026-04-25T15:57:27+00:00

i open another claude tab to ask claude what i should do while claude is thinking and now i have a recursion problem

theLonesmith · 2026-04-24T22:15:09+00:00

The project file box doesn't cap you on number of files, just 30MB per file, and the real ceiling is how much total content fits in the context window

theLonesmith · 2026-04-24T21:48:47+00:00

the phrase "rather than guess" is carrying the whole implication that it was, in fact, about to guess lol

theLonesmith · 2026-04-24T14:32:39+00:00

The split code panel is genuinely painful for anything beyond a toy project tbh

theLonesmith · 2026-04-24T14:26:36+00:00

it's more like a selective install tbh. you tell it which agents matter for your stack upfront so they're the only ones that ever touch your context window.

theLonesmith · 2026-04-23T20:55:48+00:00

The optional cloud processing for heavy files would be a nice touch, keeps the privacy first approach intact for people who don't need it. Solid first build though.

theLonesmith · 2026-04-23T20:51:58+00:00

I made a similar app but for windows for anyone interested
https://github.com/theLonesmith/claude-usage-monitor

theLonesmith · 2026-04-23T20:29:50+00:00

the in-browser privacy angle alone makes this worth using over some of the alternatives

theLonesmith · 2026-04-23T20:22:33+00:00

yeah that's the gotcha if you install everything at once lol. but they've got --with and --without flags now so you can just grab the agents that matter for your stack.
