Klaude Fuel Gauge - AI Usage © is a native macOS menu bar app that monitors Claude AI session and weekly message quota in real-time. In plain terms, it helps you manage your token budget — the rolling 5-hour sessions, weekly limits, and messages your Claude plan gives you. A color-coded fuel gauge icon lives quietly in the menu bar — always visible, regardless of which app has focus — showing exactly how much session quota remains and how long it will last. Built with Swift and AppKit, it reads directly from your existing Claude session credentials with no third-party servers involved. Klaude Fuel Gauge - AI Usage © is available exclusively on the Mac App Store for a one-time purchase of USD $19.99. macOS 14 Sonoma or later required.
