The menu bar icon can show your limit as a live dial, Claude accounts are noted reliably, and Windows gets a tray mark made for its taskbar.

What's new

  • A dial in the menu bar. On the Menu bar page, under Icon, Show in the icon now offers Usage dial: the app's dial with its arc filled to the limit you chose and its needle pointing at the value. On a Mac it is a plain mark that follows the menu bar's light or dark look; past the warning threshold it turns amber, and red when the limit is full. On Windows and Linux it sits on the app icon's navy square.
  • A tray mark for the Windows taskbar. When the tray shows the app icon, Windows now shows a mark drawn for a light or a dark taskbar, at the size your screen needs. Change the taskbar's theme and the mark follows within seconds.

Fixes

  • Claude accounts noted reliably. Every 30 seconds the app notes which account each Claude config folder is signed in to. If the app was storing new usage at that moment, the note could fail with "database is locked" and was lost, so with more than one account some requests could stay under Unidentified account. The note now waits its turn.

Good to know

  • No database change. Backups made with 0.8.5 can still be imported into 0.8.4.

Install

  • Windows: AI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.5_x64-setup.exe. No administrator rights are needed. The installer is not code-signed, so Windows may show "Unknown publisher". Choose More info → Run anyway.
  • macOS: AI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.5_universal.dmg. Drag the app to Applications and open it from there.
  • Linux: AI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.5_x86_64.deb (Debian, Ubuntu), AI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.5_x86_64.rpm (Fedora; on openSUSE add --allow-unsigned-rpm), or AI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.5_x86_64.AppImage (any distribution).

If you already use an earlier version, update from inside the app (Settings → Updates, the bottom left of the window, or the banner).

See the README for details, including how to uninstall on each system.

Verify a download: put SHA256SUMS next to the file and run sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing (Linux) or shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing (macOS).

The .sig, .app.tar.gz, and latest.json files are used by the in-app updater; you don't need to download them.
