GemGauge: Usage & Quota Tracker for Gemini

Track your daily Google Gemini web usage, live quota percentage, and reset timers directly in the Gemini input bar.

GemGauge: Usage & Quota Tracker for Gemini turns the prompt input itself into a live, customizable quota meter. Instead of opening side panels or floating widgets, your prompt composer's outline dynamically reflects your active usage and reset countdown right where you are already looking. KEY FEATURES: • Seamless Border Integration: A clean 3px ring traces the prompt box border and fills clockwise as your quota is consumed. • Custom 3-Stage Color Picker: Personalize your meter with a built-in color chooser for all three usage stages—Initial (normal usage), Warning (half/moderate usage), and Critical (low remaining quota). Your custom colors are saved automatically and persist across browser reloads. • Toggleable Glow Effect: Enable or disable an animated specular glow and travelling light pulse along the active usage bar whenever you want extra visual flair, or switch it off for a minimal look. • On-Demand Motivational Quotes: Enjoy subtle, rotating motivational quotes during idle moments, or disable them with a single click for a purely distraction-free readout. • Dual Time Windows: Instant toggle between your 5-Hour (Current) session window and 7-Day (Weekly) quota. • Real-Time Countdown: Displays precise hours, minutes, and seconds remaining until your rate limit resets. • Dynamic Theme Matching: Samples Gemini's surface color in real time and adapts between Dark and Light mode automatically. • Zero Distraction & Menu Aware: Automatically yields when attachment menus or modal dialogs open, and pauses background polling when tabs are inactive to save system resources. • Multi-Account Aware: Respects per-account routes (/u/0, /u/1) and caches metrics locally across multiple open tabs. PRIVACY & SECURITY: • Local-Only Operation: No data ever leaves your computer. The extension communicates solely and directly with https://gemini.google.com/ using Gemini's native batch RPC. • Zero Tracking: No ads, no analytics, no telemetry, and no third-party servers. • Open Source: Fully auditable MIT-licensed codebase on GitHub.
