The problem: Claude cuts you off mid-task — without warning
Every Claude plan has hidden limits. Hit one and you're locked out mid-thought, mid-debug, mid-draft.
A rolling session window quietly limits every conversation. No countdown, no warning — until you're stopped.
A separate 7-day limit can cost you an entire Monday morning if you burned through it on the weekend.
For developers, writers, and teams, a surprise cut-off means broken focus, stalled work, and hours lost every week.
Colour-coded at a glance
One glance. One click. The whole picture.
Everything you need to stay ahead of your limits
Day Tracking — 5hr Session
Monitor your Day's 5-hour rolling window in real time — messages used and left, session clock, and exact reset time.
Week Overview
Your 7-day window (all models) alongside the Day limit. Spot patterns before they cost you a Monday morning.
Smart Alerts & Range Estimator
Alerts at 70% / 90% (adjustable) plus weekly thresholds. Predicts time-to-empty — “~14 min at this pace” — with an off-peak indicator for the best windows to batch heavy work.
Auto Tier Detection
Detects Pro, Max 5× or Max 20× automatically. The right limits from first launch — no configuration.
Native macOS
SwiftUI + MenuBarExtra. One tiny icon, works across every app on your Mac — not just one browser tab.
Apple Shortcuts & Siri
Four live actions expose session state, usage %, messages remaining, and time-to-empty. Threshold events can trigger your own Shortcuts.
Quick Actions & Polling
Reset session window, export usage data, copy stats, pause tracking — all from one menu bar submenu.
Fuel Lock
Optional self-control circuit breaker: hit your own hard limit and the app locks itself until the next reset.
Usage History
A full log of past sessions with session % and weekly % against limits, 7-day averages, peaks and trends — plus one-click Copy History to Clipboard.
Balance & Extra Usage
See your current account balance and any extra usage spend this period, right in the dropdown — no visit to claude.ai needed.
Trend Arrows
Live direction indicators (↑ trending up, → stable, ↓ trending down) for both your session and weekly usage, so you can course-correct early.
Fully Tunable
Adjust 5-hour and weekly message limits, polling cadence, menu bar readout, Launch at Login, notifications, Shortcuts and diagnostics — all from a native Settings window.

"The colour-coded icon is genius. Just glance at the menu bar and know exactly where I stand. No clicking needed."
"Losing productivity every time someone hit the Claude wall was a real cost. KFG has saved us hours every week."
