v1.3
f9d27af

Quality-of-life release focused on authentication.

New

  • Fewer Keychain prompts. The app now caches the Claude Code token in its own Keychain item and reads from there, instead of reading Claude Code's item on every poll. Reading your own item never triggers an authorization prompt, so waking your Mac no longer asks for your password. Claude Code's item is touched only on first launch and when a token is rejected.
  • Instant refresh on wake from sleep (the earlier delay is gone now that wake is prompt-free).

Since v1.2 also includes

  • Live Claude service status in the menu and an incident dot on the ring.
  • Configurable refresh interval (15 s – 2 min) and a global shortcut (⌘⇧U).
  • A refreshed README with an animated demo.

This download

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

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

Or via Homebrew:

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

Requirements

macOS 14+, an active Claude subscription, and the Claude Code CLI signed in.

Unofficial and not affiliated with Anthropic. Calls an undocumented internal endpoint that may change without notice; your token is sent only to api.anthropic.com.
