Desktop / system widget now works

You can now use Claudemon as a native macOS desktop widget (Notification Center → Edit Widgets → Claude Usage, available in small and medium sizes) — a great alternative for anyone who doesn't want the floating widget.

What changed

  • Fixed the App Group data bridge so the bundled WidgetKit system widget actually shows your live usage instead of an empty "Open Claudemon" placeholder. The non-sandboxed app now resolves the team-prefixed App Group container, and the app (writer) + widget (reader) converge on the same shared cache.
  • Added a hint in the menu panel pointing to the Notification Center widget.
  • Internal: ordered App Group container resolver + diagnostic logging.

The floating widget and menu bar are unchanged.

Install

  • Homebrew: brew install --cask ardabalkandev/tap/claudemon (updates to 1.3.0 shortly after release)
  • Direct: download Claudemon.dmg below, drag to Applications.

Requires macOS 14+ and the Claude Code CLI signed in to your own subscription.
