v1.7
3934c34

The app is now Claudar (formerly "Claude Usage" / ClaudeUsageBar).

The old name was too close to the older, established claudeusagebar.com, so this renames everything: display name, bundle ID, and Homebrew cask. No feature changes.

Upgrading from an earlier version: the rename gives the app a new identity to macOS, so:

  • If you used No-Prompt Mode, sign in once more (menu → No-Prompt Mode → Sign In) — the old saved session was under the previous name.
  • Re-add the desktop widget from the widget gallery.
  • Delete the old Claude Usage.app if you had it installed.

Install

brew install --cask --no-quarantine jpuritz/tap/claudar

Or download Claudar-menubar.zip below, unzip, drag Claudar.app to /Applications, then:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Claudar.app"

The download is the menu bar + window build; the widget is build-from-source (see the README). Requires macOS 14+, an active Claude subscription, and the Claude Code CLI signed in. Unofficial and not affiliated with Anthropic.
