Claude Notch v0.1.3

What's new

• Clawd reacts to your usage — his walk speeds up the closer you are to your limit (calm and slow when you're low, a frantic scurry near the cap).

• Update check — the right-click menu flags when a newer version is out.
• (0.1.2) Animate icon toggle to stop/start the animation.

Claude Notch v0.1.1

A Dynamic Island for your Mac's notch showing live Claude usage — 5-hour, 7-day, and credits with reset timers — and Clawd the crab.

Signed + notarized by Apple. Download Claude Notch.zip, unzip, drag Claude Notch.app to Applications, and double-click (no security warning). On first run, click Always Allow on the Keychain prompt so it can read your local Claude session.

New in 0.1.1

• Works without Claude Desktop — reads your claude.ai session from Claude Desktop or any browser signed into claude.ai (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Firefox, Zen).
• Reads a running Claude Desktop's current session correctly (fixes occasionally showing a different/stale account's numbers).
• Staleness guard — if live data stops refreshing, the numbers dim and the footer shows "reconnecting", so a frozen value is never shown as if it were current.
