See how it works

Both limits, always in view

The 5-hour and weekly limits as live percentages, with exactly how long until each resets.

A tiny meter in your panel

The same numbers as a compact bar in your XFCE panel or tray: 5h, weekly, percent and countdown at a glance.

Every session, side by side

See each Claude Code session's own reading and model, and click a heading to sort. Resume a session with a double-click.

Make it yours

Meter height, icon, and colour bands that shift from green to red as you approach the limit.

Honest about itself

Version, license (GPL-3.0-or-later), source and where to report bugs — and it only reads files Claude Code already writes on your machine.

Why you'll like it

Both limits at a glance

5-hour and weekly usage, always visible.

No terminal needed

Everything is visible from the tray or panel icon.

Cross-platform

Native xfce4-panel plugin, plus a tray icon on KDE/GNOME/Windows/macOS.

What it's built with, and why

KotlinSingle codebase for the tray logic and the native xfce4-panel plugin binding.

xfce4-panel plugin API (C bindings)Only reliable way to embed a live widget natively in an XFCE panel.

System tray protocols (Windows/macOS/KDE/GNOME)Each desktop exposes usage differently — this abstracts over all of them.

Claude Code's local usage dataReads rate-limit state directly, no network calls or extra permissions needed.
