Same Claude plan.
Very different day.

Without MeterBar
  • Tab-check claude.ai every 15 minutes, in vain.
  • Blindsided by a rate limit mid-flow.
  • Stare at 73% and wonder: safe, or about to crash?
With MeterBar
  • A glance at the menu bar tells you everything.
  • A nudge at 80% — wrap up on your terms.
  • Blue, amber, red. Zero ambiguity.

You're paying for Claude
and flying blind.

  • ✕
    You're deep in a problem. Claude just stops. No warning — just a rate limit and hours to wait.
  • ✕
    Anthropic shows you 73%. Safe? Dangerous? You have no context and no idea whether to slow down.
  • ✕
    You keep a claude.ai tab open, refreshing. Every check pulls you out of your work.
rate_limit_error
You've been rate limited.
Your limit will reset in 3 hours.
Try again later or switch model.

From the maker
“I got rate-limited in the middle of a refactor four times in one week. I'm a Max user — I shouldn't have to babysit a usage dashboard. So I built the tool I wanted: one glance, you know.”

Questions

Works with Pro, Max, and Team plans?
Yes. MeterBar works with any paid Claude plan that has rate limits. It reads local session logs and syncs with claude.ai's usage page.
Does any data leave my machine?
No. MeterBar runs entirely on your Mac. The only network request is to claude.ai for quota sync — the same page you'd check manually. No analytics, no backend, nothing.
What if I don't use Claude Code?
The cost breakdown requires Claude Code's local session logs. The live quota gauge works for anyone with a Claude account via the built-in sync.
Windows or Linux?
macOS only for now. It uses native AppKit for the menu bar. Cross-platform is on the roadmap.

You paid for Claude.
Use it without anxiety.
