Ringside 2.0 runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and has a new look and much more to set. It's still 100% free and open source.

Ringside 2.0

Download

  • Windows 10 and 11: Ringside-win-Setup.exe
  • macOS 12 or later, Apple silicon: Ringside-osx-arm64.zip, signed and notarized by Apple
  • Linux x64: Ringside.AppImage

Already running Ringside 1.0 on Windows? It updates itself to 2.0, keeps your settings and your Claude Code link.

What's new

  • macOS (Apple silicon) and Linux builds, from one codebase.
  • Live Claude limits: a small Claude Code plugin keeps Claude's numbers current after every turn, in the terminal, the Claude app's Code tab and VS Code. It reads no credentials.
  • Old readings now say when they were taken, such as yesterday 9:09 PM, and never pass for current numbers.
  • New welcome cards that walk through setup with pictures: what Ringside found, your view, used or left, colors, alerts and the Claude Code link.
  • Three views: the full card, the slim pill, and the orb, a ring inside a ring like the logo.
  • Show limits as used (filling up) or as left (draining like a tank). Every number, tooltip, alert and the Claude Code status line follow the choice.
  • Pick any color for each app, or use traffic light colors.
  • Split Claude and Codex into two meters you can place anywhere; drop one onto the other to join them again.
  • Show only one app's meter if you use only one. Ringside starts with just the one it finds.
  • Smart forecast: when a limit climbs fast, Ringside shows when it will run out at your current pace, and can warn you before it does.
  • Your own amber and red thresholds, rings or bars on the card, countdown or clock reset times, and a choice of which limit the main gauge follows.
  • A right-click quick panel for views, used or left, split or join, keep on top and click-through.
  • A new Settings window with a live preview.
  • Notifications drawn by Ringside, the same on every system.
