Claude Status Bar v0.1.2

Patch release on top of v0.1.1.

Changed

• Fixed usage percentages never showing for cux-managed (multi-account) users on newer cux versions: cux v0.2.11+ keeps the real OAuth token only in the macOS Keychain (not in a slot's oauth.json), and keys its usage cache with a compound accountUuid|organizationUuid instead of a bare organizationUuid. Both are now handled correctly (#16, #19).

Install

Download ClaudeStatusBar.dmg below, drag it to Applications, and launch. The app is ad-hoc signed, so clear the quarantine on first launch — right-click → Open (twice if needed), or:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ClaudeStatusBar.app

Full walkthrough in the README.

Full changelog: v0.1.1...v0.1.2

Claude Status Bar v0.1.1

Patch release on top of v0.1.0.

Changed

• Removed the temporary shimmer diagnostic instrumentation left in from the FPS-tuning round — the app no longer writes render/ticker probe logs (#12).
• The README now carries a detailed step-by-step install guide: prerequisites, DMG install, Gatekeeper handling, Claude Code activity-tracking setup, multi-account usage via cux, verification, and uninstall (#13, #14).

Claude Status Bar v0.1.0

First public release — a native macOS menu bar app that shows your Claude usage and Claude Code activity at a glance.

Highlights

• Usage in the menu bar — Claude usage percentage next to Clawd, with a per-account breakdown in the popover.
• Multi-account support via cux — reads account slots from ~/.cux, shows each account's usage, and offers a one-click Log in for accounts that need re-authentication.
• Claude Code activity — Clawd animates and the label shows activity text while Claude Code is working (hook-based; install from Settings → Claude Code, with a timestamped backup of ~/.claude/settings.json).
• Seven themed message styles for the activity text, plus icon-only and compact modes.
• Configurable usage colors — normal, yellow, and red levels are all pickable in Settings.
• Menu-bar-only (no Dock icon). Builds with Command Line Tools alone — no Xcode required.

Install

Download ClaudeStatusBar.dmg below, drag it to Applications, and launch. The app is ad-hoc signed, so macOS quarantines the downloaded copy — right-click the app and choose Open (twice if needed), or clear the flag directly:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ClaudeStatusBar.app

See the README for activity-tracking setup and security notes.

Requirements

• macOS 14+
• Claude Code for activity tracking
• Optional: cux for multi-account usage
