Claude Code Usage Monitor

A live terminal display of how much of your Claude Code usage limit you've used, with warnings.

New this week

What it does

Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding tool, has usage limits that reset over time. This monitor shows a live view in the terminal of your tokens, messages and cost, and predicts when you'll hit your limit.

It can read Claude Code's official limit figures and clearly labels which numbers are official and which are its own estimates. It can learn your usual usage to set personal limits.

It can optionally keep a local history of your usage longer than Claude keeps it, and export reports. Its makers describe it as privacy-first.

Who it's for

People who use Claude Code heavily and want to avoid running into usage limits unexpectedly.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. Installed with a Python package tool and run in the terminal. New to this? Start here.
