Claude Usage Tracker — HUD

Displays your Claude.ai usage stats on your desktop as a floating HUD. Requires the HUD for Claude Mac app.

HUD for Claude is a tiny floating window that lives in the corner of your screen and shows your Claude.ai usage in real time — current session, weekly all-models, weekly Sonnet, and routine runs — as color-coded blood bars. No more breaking your flow to click into claude.ai/settings/usage just to see how much you have left. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This Chrome extension is one half of a two-part system: 1. This extension quietly watches claude.ai/settings/usage and extracts the same numbers you'd see if you opened that page yourself. 2. It sends those numbers to the HUD for Claude Mac app, which displays them as a floating bar graph. Both halves are required — this extension does nothing useful on its own. You can download the Mac app at https://metasui.gumroad.com/l/hudclaude ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds — always up to date • Color-coded bars: green under 50%, yellow 50–79%, red 80%+ • Tracks four metrics: current session, weekly all models, weekly Sonnet, daily routine runs • Shows reset countdowns • Zero configuration — install, open the Mac app, done ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Your data never leaves your computer. • No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking • No external servers — the extension talks only to the HUD for Claude app on localhost (your own machine) • No account, no login, no registration • Reads only the usage numbers on claude.ai/settings/usage — does not read your conversations, prompts, or anything else Full privacy policy: https://suiyang-meta.github.io/claude-hud/privacy ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REQUIREMENTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Mac running macOS 11 Big Sur or later (Apple Silicon) • Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser) • A Claude.ai account you're signed into • The free HUD for Claude Mac app — download at https://claudehud.app ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TROUBLESHOOTING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Widget says "Waiting for data"? → Make sure you're signed into claude.ai in Chrome. → Make sure the HUD for Claude Mac app is running. Don't see a Chrome tab with claude.ai? The extension opens one automatically in the background. You'll see it in your tab list. Don't close it — that's how the data flows. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FEEDBACK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Questions, bugs, or ideas?

Usage tracking is now more resilient to Claude.ai layout changes. ——— Recent updates v1.4.0 — Made usage tracking resilient to Claude.ai layout changes. The extension now follows Claude's settings sidebar to find the usage page automatically, instead of relying on a fixed URL — so future Claude.ai tweaks shouldn't break tracking. Also fixes a tab-opening bug from earlier this week.
