README

Claudemon

Claudemon is a native macOS menu-bar app that shows your **Claude Code subscription usage live**. It reads the same limits the Claude Code CLI reports and surfaces them in three places:

a compact gauge + session percentage in the menu bar (with a configurable style — icon + text, text only, or icon only),
an optional always-on-top floating desktop window (double-click to toggle a mini session-only view), and
a Notification Center / desktop widget (WidgetKit).

It tracks the three limits Claude Code reports — **Current Session (5h)**, **Current Week (all models)**, and a **per-model current-week limit** (the label follows whichever model Anthropic is currently tracking there, e.g. **Current Week (Fable)** — this replaced the older **Current Week (Sonnet only)** wording after Anthropic added the Fable model) — each with a labeled progress bar, the percent used, a `resets in Xh Ym` countdown, and the absolute reset time in the limit's own timezone.

**Unofficial tool.** Claudemon is a third-party app and is **not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic**. See the [Disclaimer](#disclaimer) below.

Menu bar panel	Floating window	Mini view

The floating window has two forms: the **full view** (session ring + weekly bars

reset footer) and a mini view that shows just the session ring. Double-click the floating window to switch between them — the mini view is a smaller, glanceable indicator that stays out of the way; double-click again to return.

Menu bar style & settings

The menu bar fills up fast, so Claudemon lets you choose how much room its item takes. Open the panel and click the **⚙︎ gear** in the header to reveal the settings, then pick a **Menu bar style**:
