Claude Usage Tray

A small cross-platform app written in Rust that solves a simple but pressing problem for Claude Code users: there is no convenient way to track usage limits. The app shows the percentage of the current 5-hour session used right in the system tray icon, and on hover or click, it displays a detailed usage breakdown — both for the 5-hour window and the weekly limit (7 days).

Technically, it works quite simply: instead of requiring separate authentication, the app reads the OAuth token that Claude Code CLI already stores locally in ~/.claude/.credentials.json and calls the same usage API that the client itself uses.
