OhNine 2.1 adds animated Claude usage feedback with a sad crab

The developer of OhNine, a menu bar application, has released version 2.1, which introduces new animations for its virtual crab mascot, Claw'd. These animations are designed to provide visual feedback on the user's usage of the Claude AI model. When the session usage reaches 91%, Claw'd becomes scared and sweats, and at 100%, he walks home crying. The weekly limits for Claude usage also have distinct endings: hitting the general weekly limit results in a 'RIP' scene with crows, while the model-specific Fable limit shows Claw'd with a crutch. AI

IMPACT Provides a novel, visually engaging way for users to monitor their AI model usage, potentially influencing user behavior and awareness of API limits.
