Developer Creates Free Windows Widget for Claude Usage and Session Monitoring

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a free Windows widget that displays Claude usage limits and session status, leveraging Claude Code for its development. The widget, built with PowerShell and WPF, fetches usage data by running a headless `claude -p "/usage"` command to avoid token consumption. It visually represents session limits and the status of running Claude Code sessions, with a pixelated character named Clawd reacting to the data, including sleeping when idle and showing distress near the usage limit. AI

IMPACT Provides a convenient way for users to monitor their Claude usage and session status directly on their desktop.
