README

Claude usage pet

A tiny pixel Claude that lives on your Windows taskbar and keeps an eye on your Claude plan for you.

The bubble over its head shows how much of your **5-hour** and **weekly** limits you've used (these cover claude.ai, the desktop app and Claude Code together). Hover over it for the details. While Claude Code is working, it puts on a wizard hat and acts out what Claude is doing.

The mascot waves on the taskbar with its usage bubble (5-hour, weekly and context), then the details panel fades in above it showing the 5-hour and weekly limits, reset times, a pace chart and how full the latest Claude Code chat's context window is

If the pet makes you smile, a ⭐ on GitHub helps other people find it.
