v1.6 — one-click No-Prompt Mode

Choose a tag to compare

@jpuritz jpuritz released this 24 Jul 14:42

Makes the no-prompt sign-in effortless.

New

  • No-Prompt Mode is now one click. Menu → No-Prompt Mode → Sign In to claude.ai… opens a sign-in window; log in once and the app stops asking for your macOS password — no DevTools, no terminal, no cookie copying. Turn it off from the same menu to return to the CLI sign-in.

Background: the default mode reads the Claude Code CLI credential, which macOS re-prompts for every time the CLI renews its token (~8h). No-Prompt Mode stores a claude.ai session in a Keychain item the app owns, which never prompts.

Or via Homebrew:

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

Requires macOS 14+, an active Claude subscription, and the Claude Code CLI signed in. Unofficial and not affiliated with Anthropic.
