Your Claude.ai Max-plan session and weekly usage — as two bars in your desktop's panel, menu bar, or system tray.
ClaudeBar is a native desktop indicator that surfaces your Claude.ai Max-plan session and weekly usage as two color-coded bars — directly in your menu bar, system tray, or panel. It signs you in with OAuth (PKCE + loopback) and stores your token in the OS-native secret store: the macOS Keychain, Windows DPAPI, or the FreeDesktop Secret Service on Linux. A consistent feature set supports macOS, Windows, and every major Linux desktop environment — GNOME, KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, XFCE, MATE, Budgie, and LXQt. Usage thresholds, poll interval, and display options are all configurable, and the app speaks to nothing beyond api.anthropic.com and console.anthropic.com on your behalf.
