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 SwiftUI, it authenticates through a secure in-app sign-in window and reads your usage directly from Anthropic, 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.

Key Features

• Real-time quota monitoring — polls the Claude API on a configurable interval (60 seconds by default, adjustable from 15 seconds to 2 hours) and displays session message count and percentage used.
• Color-coded fuel gauge icon — green (0–39%), yellow (40–69%), orange (70–89%), blinking red (90–99%), and steady red at 100%. Visible from any app, any window, any time.
• Weekly counter — tracks your 7-day message quota with a live countdown to the weekly reset — exact local date and time shown in the menu.
• Burn-rate estimator — calculates estimated time remaining in the current session window based on usage rate.
• Smart notifications — session alerts at 70% and 90%, weekly alerts at 80% and 95% — every threshold adjustable.
• Quick Actions menu — Reset, Stats, Export, and Pause — one click from the menu bar dropdown, no Settings required.
• Full Settings panel — four tabbed panels: General, Notifications, Shortcuts, and Diagnostics.
• Fully native — built with Swift and SwiftUI, not Electron. Lightweight, fast, and feels like a first-party macOS app.
• Privacy first — you sign in through a secure in-app window; the session lives only in the app's own sandboxed container, never your browser's cookies. No developer servers. The only data leaving your Mac is usage reads to Anthropic's API — plus, if you switch on Fuel Lock, lock-attempt emails sent through your own mail server.
• One-time purchase — USD $19.99, no subscription, no in-app purchases. Local price and any applicable taxes (GST/VAT) are set by the App Store and shown at checkout.
