Same Claude plan.
Very different day.
- Tab-check claude.ai every 15 minutes, in vain.
- Get blindsided by a rate limit mid-refactor.
- Guess whether 73% is dangerous or fine.
- Only spot Opus burn when the week's already gone.
- A glance at the menu bar tells you everything.
- Nudges at 80% and 95% — wrap up on your terms.
- Color-coded signal: blue, amber, red. No guessing.
- See Opus spend by project, kill runaway burn early.
You're paying for Claude
and flying blind.
-
✕You're 45 minutes into a debugging session. Claude just stops. No warning — just a rate limit error and hours to wait.
-
✕Anthropic shows you 73%. Is that dangerous? Normal? You have zero context and no idea whether to slow down.
-
✕Opus quietly burns your weekly budget on one-liner replies. You find out when it's already gone.
-
✕You keep a claude.ai tab open to check. Every refresh pulls you out of your work. That tab is costing you more than the rate limit.
You've seen this before.
You'll never get caught
off guard again.
Everything you need to know, without leaving what you're doing.
Always know where you stand
Session and weekly quota in your menu bar. Color shifts from blue to amber to red as you approach the limit — enough signal to pace yourself before the wall hits.
Real numbers — not guesses
Pulls your actual quota straight from claude.ai — the same numbers Anthropic shows you. No estimates, no proxy math. Sync on demand, any time, one click.
A nudge before the wall
Native macOS notifications at 80% and 95%. Enough time to wrap up gracefully — not scramble after the fact.
Find where your budget goes
30-day breakdown by project and model. Spot if Opus is burning through your budget writing commit messages.
Invisible until you need it
Pure AppKit — not Electron. Tiny footprint, no Dock clutter. A number in your menu bar. That's it.
Set it once, forget it
Launches automatically on login. Quiet, always on, never in the way. The kind of tool that earns its keep by disappearing.
Your data stays on your Mac
No accounts, no telemetry, no backend. Reads your local session logs and syncs with claude.ai directly. Claude's servers never know MeterBar exists.
Three minutes. Then you're done.
Install
Download the .dmg, drag to Applications, launch. Enter your license key. Under 90 seconds, start to finish.
Connect once
MeterBar opens claude.ai in a secure built-in window. Sign in once. Your session stays on your Mac — nowhere else.
Never worry again
Usage in your menu bar. Alerts before limits. Cost data on demand. You'll wonder how you coded without it.
“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.”
Pay once. Own it forever.
Less than 10% of your monthly Claude bill.
