v1.2
c31bb19

Adds Claude service status monitoring and several quality-of-life features.

New

  • Live Claude service status — a colored line in the menu (click to open status.claude.com) and an incident dot on the menu-bar ring when claude.ai / Claude API / Claude Code / Claude Console have a disruption. Optional banner alerts when a watched service goes down or recovers.
  • Wake-from-sleep refresh — usage and status refresh the moment your Mac wakes, so the first reading isn't stale.
  • Configurable refresh interval — 15 s / 30 s / 1 min / 2 min, from the menu (default 30 s).
  • Global shortcut (⌘⇧U) — open the usage window from anywhere. Off by default. Uses Carbon hotkeys, so no Accessibility permission is required.

This download

ClaudeUsage-menubar.zip is the menu bar + window build (no widget — that needs building from source; see the README). Ad-hoc signed, so clear quarantine once:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Claude Usage.app"

Or install via Homebrew:

brew install --cask --no-quarantine jpuritz/tap/claude-usage

Requirements

  • macOS 14 or later
  • An active Claude subscription and the Claude Code CLI, signed in
