What's New
Version history ›Big update: Claude usage is now easier to see and act on across every device.
A new watchOS app brings your Claude usage to your wrist. It syncs via iCloud, includes complications for every watch face, and shows your usage at a glance.
Stay in control with alerts that trigger when your session, weekly, or Opus usage hits your limits. You can also get notified when those periods reset. All notification controls are now in the new Notifications settings tab.
Check usage without opening the app. Get new iOS lock screen widgets and Apple Watch complications, alongside the existing Mac desktop widgets and iOS home screen widgets.
Connect your live usage to AI agents and dashboards using a local HTTP endpoint. A bundled skill markdown is included, so you can get from setup to integration faster.
Make decisions with clearer views: a Current Session chart for real-time progress, a Session History bar chart with filters, refreshed Insights cards, plus a resizable window and adjustable font size for better readability.
A native preferences window organizes everything into General, Appearance, Notifications, and Sync panes. You can also hide your account email and show remaining percentage in the menu bar.
We also refreshed the Help Center (now available in 15 languages), redesigned the macOS feedback form, and shipped dozens of polish improvements. Thanks for using Usage for Claude!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Usage for Claude?
Usage for Claude is a macOS menu bar application that displays your Claude usage statistics with automatic background updates. It authenticates with claude.ai and extracts usage data directly from your account, providing convenient access to your session and weekly usage limits without opening a browser.
Is this an official Anthropic application?
No, this is an independent third-party application built by an enthusiastic Claude user out of love for the product and to help the Claude user community. It is not created, endorsed, or maintained by Anthropic.
What accounts are supported?
The app works with any Claude account (Free or Pro) that has access to the usage page at claude.ai/settings/usage. Team and Enterprise accounts are not supported.
How do I authenticate?
Click the menu bar icon and select the authentication option. A browser window will open where you can log in using your Claude credentials.
How do I log in with Claude Code?
If you use Claude Code (the CLI tool), you can log in directly using your existing OAuth token. Click the menu bar icon, choose "Claude Code" as the login method, and the app will read your credentials automatically — no browser sign-in needed.
Does the app store my password?
No. Authentication is handled entirely through Claude's official website. The app only preserves session cookies to maintain your login state—your password is never stored.
Is there an iOS or iPad app?
Yes! Usage for Claude is available as a free companion app for iPhone and iPad on the App Store. It displays your usage history, charts, and insights synced from the macOS app via iCloud.
How does iCloud sync work?
Your usage history automatically syncs across all your devices via iCloud. The macOS app collects the data, and it's shared with the iOS companion app in real-time. Both devices must be signed into the same iCloud account.
Is my data shared with anyone?
No. All data remains on your local Mac. The app only communicates with claude.ai to fetch usage information.
Does it include a widget?
Yes, the app includes a macOS widget that can be added to Notification Center or your desktop, displaying the same usage information as the menu bar popover.
What widget styles are available?
The app offers three macOS widget styles: Rings (circular progress rings with session and weekly usage), Compact (large percentage displays with reset times), and Bars (linear progress bars). Choose the style that best fits your desktop or Notification Center layout.
What is the History view?
The History view displays your Claude usage over time with interactive charts, a GitHub-style activity grid showing your usage patterns over the past year, and detailed insights about your usage habits. Access it from the menu bar by clicking 'History'.
What is the Session History chart?
The Session History chart in the History view shows your usage over time as a bar chart. You can filter by time range — 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days — to see both session and weekly usage patterns and peak usage for each period.
Can I share my usage statistics?
Yes, click the share button in the History view to generate a shareable image of your usage statistics. The image includes your usage chart, activity grid, and key insights. You can share it on social media, messaging apps, or save it to your device. If you have Claude Code stats enabled, those will be included too.
What are the usage predictions?
Predictions analyze your current usage rate to estimate when you might hit your session or weekly limits. If you're on track to stay within limits before they reset, you'll see an 'On Track' message. If you're using Claude heavily, you'll see a warning with an estimated time until you hit the limit.
Will I receive notifications?
