First public build. Always-on-top Windows desktop widget that shows your real Claude subscription usage — the same percentages
claude /usagedisplays — refreshed every 5 minutes.What it shows
- Current 5-hour session % with reset countdown
- Weekly all-models + Weekly Sonnet bars
- Per-model breakdown for the current session block (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku, derived from your local Claude Code transcripts)
Install
- Download
Claude Usage Widget_0.1.0_x64-setup.exebelow. - Run it. Windows SmartScreen will warn "unrecognized publisher" — click More info → Run anyway (the binary isn't code-signed).
- Widget pops up upper-left. Drag where you want. Resize as you like.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 with WebView2 Runtime (preinstalled on Win11)
- Claude Code installed and signed in (native Windows or inside any WSL distro — auto-detected)
How it works
The widget spawns
claudevia a hidden pseudo-TTY, sends/usage, and parses the rendered output. No API keys, no admin tokens, nothing leaves your machine. Configuration lives at%APPDATA%\claude-widget\config.json.A tray icon next to the Windows clock lets you bring the widget back if it ever gets lost off-screen.
Known limitations
- The auto-detected
claude commanddefaults assumewsl.exe -d <distro>for WSL installs. If your distro has a non-standard name andclaudeisn't in the login PATH, override it in Settings. /usageparser depends on Anthropic's rendered output format. If a Claude Code update changes that text, the widget shows "no /usage data" and you'll see the raw output in Settings → Test /usage now → "raw output".- Source: https://git.rdx4.com/megaproxy/claude-usage-widget
