Features
Everything you need to stay
ahead of your limits
Klaude Fuel Gauge - AI Usage lives quietly in your menu bar, watching your Claude quota so you never hit a wall mid-conversation. Whether you're debugging code, writing long-form content, or running deep research sessions — it keeps you in the zone.
Session Tracking
Monitor your 5-hour rolling window in real-time. Know exactly how many messages remain before Claude slows you down — so you can pace yourself instead of hitting a wall.
Weekly Overview
Track your 7-day usage alongside your session limit. Get the complete picture of your Claude consumption at a glance — and spot patterns before they cost you a Monday morning.
Smart Alerts & Timing
Configurable session alerts at 70% and 90% (adjustable to any threshold), plus weekly alerts at 80% and 95%. A built-in range estimator predicts how long your quota will last at your present pace — showing reads like ~14 min at this pace and firing a dedicated alert when you’re under 10 minutes from empty. An off-peak indicator flags the best weekday-evening and weekend windows to batch heavy Claude tasks — so you always work smarter around your limits.
Auto Tier Detection
Automatically detects your plan — Pro, Max 5×, or Max 20×. No manual configuration needed; it just works. The right limits, from the first launch.
Native macOS
Built with SwiftUI and MenuBarExtra. Zero clutter, zero browser tabs — just a tiny icon in exactly the right place. Works across every app on your Mac, not just in one browser or editor.
Apple Shortcuts
Wire Klaude Fuel Gauge - AI Usage into Apple Shortcuts and Siri. Four live actions expose session state, usage percentage, messages remaining, and time to empty. Threshold events can trigger your own Shortcuts automatically — switch Focus Mode, set Reminders, log usage to a spreadsheet, and more.
Quick Actions & Polling
Set refresh anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 hours — crank it up during heavy sessions, dial it back when you're in flow. And reset your session window, export usage data, copy stats to the clipboard, or pause tracking — all from a single submenu in the menu bar. No need to open Settings.
Private by Design
You sign in through a secure in-app window that opens claude.ai directly. Your session lives only in the app's own sandboxed container — it never touches your browser's cookies, and nothing is ever sent to us. No accounts, no developer servers, no data collection. The only optional exception: Fuel Lock, a self-control circuit breaker — hit your own hard limit and the app locks itself until the next reset. If you enable its notification option, a lock-attempt email goes through your own mail server to recipients you choose — never through us. Learn more about Fuel Lock → · How sign-in works →
Live in Under a Minute
A guided Setup Assistant walks you through first launch — connect your session, auto-detect your plan, and you're tracking in under a minute. No manuals, no fiddly configuration. Install once and it just works.

Set it up once and forgot about it — which is exactly the point. The menu bar icon does the remembering for me.
