Requires macOS 13+, a Claude Pro or Max subscription, and Xcode Command Line Tools to build.
ClaudeQuota is a small native macOS menu bar app that shows how much of your Claude AI usage limit you have used, the same numbers you would normally find by visiting the Claude website's usage settings page. A color coded ring gauge sits in the menu bar showing your current 5 hour session usage as a percentage, turning from green to orange to red as you use more of your limit. Clicking it opens a full breakdown covering the session limit, the weekly limit across all models, and limits for specific models, along with when each one resets. The app can sign in two ways. If you already use Anthropic's Claude Code coding tool and are logged into it, ClaudeQuota can read its stored login credentials from the Mac's Keychain and connect automatically with no setup. If you instead use Claude through the website or the desktop chat app, you sign in from the menu bar through your browser, and your username and password go only to Anthropic, never to this app. Once signed in, ClaudeQuota keeps its own separate login credentials and refreshes them on its own, and the README states it never writes to or modifies the Claude Code credentials it may have borrowed from, only reads them once. Other features include one-time notifications when your session usage crosses 80 percent and 95 percent, an automatic refresh every 3 minutes with backoff if Anthropic rate limits requests, detection of your current Claude plan, and an option to start automatically at login with no Dock icon. It requires macOS 13 or later, a Claude Pro or Max subscription, and Xcode Command Line Tools to build it from source, since it is a single Swift file with no external dependencies. The README notes it relies on an undocumented Anthropic API endpoint that could change without warning, and that the app shows the last known data if it cannot reach the network. It is described as an unofficial, personal-use tool not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. It is licensed under the MIT License.
