Claude usage tracker

Five ways to track Claude usage, and which one fits

Every option below reads the same two limits Anthropic sets: a 5-hour session and a weekly limit. They differ in where the number lives and whether anything warns you before Claude stops.

  • Claude itself

    Free

    Run /usage in Claude Code, or open Settings > Usage on claude.ai. Both show your 5-hour session and weekly limit with the time left. You have to remember to look.

  • A browser extension

    Free

    Several Chrome extensions show your plan usage in the browser. Claude Code draws on the same limits, so the number is right; it just lives in a browser you may not be looking at while you work in the terminal.

  • ccusage

    Free, open source

    A command-line report built from Claude Code's local logs: tokens and estimated cost by day, session or 5-hour block, with a live view in the terminal.

  • A free menu bar or tray app

    Free, open source

    Claude-Usage-Tracker is a native Mac menu bar app for Claude; Win-CodexBar is a Windows tray app that covers Claude and many other providers. Community projects, maintained by their authors.

  • SessionWatcher (ours)

    From $6.99 one-time

    Claude Code's 5-hour session, weekly limit and reset time in the Mac menu bar or the Windows taskbar, with alerts at 70% and 90% and a notification when a maxed-out limit frees up. The same app tracks Codex, Cursor and 17 more tools.

If you only check once a day, the free options are enough. If Claude has stopped you mid-task more than once, a tracker that stays in view is the better fit. Want the reset time above everything else? See the Claude reset tracker. On a Mac you can also pin the Claude usage widget for Mac to your desktop, and on a PC the readout sits in the taskbar: Claude usage in the Windows taskbar. Use a work and a personal account? Pro can track two Claude accounts, and track two Codex accounts as well.

Is there a Claude usage tracker for Windows?
Yes. SessionWatcher for Windows shows Claude Code's 5-hour session, weekly limit and reset time inside the Windows 11 taskbar, or in a small window next to the taskbar on Windows 10 (version 2004 or later). It has the same 70% and 90% alerts as the Mac app, and one licence key covers both. Free tray apps exist too, such as Win-CodexBar, and /usage works in Claude Code on any system.
What is the difference between a Claude usage tracker and /usage?
/usage in Claude Code and Settings > Usage on claude.ai show the same limits, but only when you stop and look. A tracker keeps the numbers in view while you work and warns you before a limit stops Claude, instead of after.
Can I track two Claude accounts, like work and personal?
Yes, on Pro. SessionWatcher tracks several Claude accounts side by side, each with its own 5-hour session, weekly limit and reset time, and it does the same for Codex accounts.

Using Claude Code on a PC? Track Claude Code usage on Windows with the taskbar app. The same licence works on Mac and Windows, with separate countdowns for the 5-hour and weekly limits and alerts before you hit them.

Three of them, in their own words.

“I was losing track of my Claude usage every single day. I'd be deep in a project, hit the rate limit, and just sit there waiting with no idea when it would reset. SessionWatcher changed that completely. Now I just glance at my menu bar and know exactly where I stand. It paid for itself the first time it saved me from a lockout.”

“I wanted a native, minimal menu bar app to monitor my Claude usage. Something not vibe-coded or overengineered. After trying several, I settled on this one. It's fast, simple, and does exactly what it should without unnecessary features. Definitely worth the purchase.”

“SessionWatcher helps me wrangle the most out of my Claude account's limits, both when I'm using too much and not enough, and gives me a fast heads up when something goes off the rails so I can correct it before it's too late. It's one less thing that I have to monitor by hand, and it does its job simply and attractively. Best of all, the developer is wonderfully responsive.”

Frequently asked questions

You can, but you won't. Checking means stopping your work, opening a browser or CLI, and looking up usage mid-flow. SessionWatcher makes it a glance, not a task.

Buy a license from $6.99, download the app, and it works immediately. No subscription, no account, no recurring fees.

Yes. SessionWatcher is built for Claude Code usage monitoring, including the rolling 5-hour window, weekly limits, usage history, token counts, and costs.

Yes. Alongside the menu bar app, SessionWatcher ships two native macOS widgets. The Focus widget is the small size and shows one big ring gauge for a single tool, so a Claude Code limit can sit on your desktop or in Notification Center at a glance. The Dashboard widget comes in the large and extra-large sizes and shows the same full usage breakdown as the menu bar popover, pinned to your desktop. Both read the same local usage data as the menu bar app, so they need no account and no API key. Widgets are a Mac feature, part of Pro, which is $59 one-time or $24 per year; the $6.99 Claude license covers the menu bar app itself.

No. SessionWatcher reads usage statistics locally. It does not upload your code, prompts, conversations, or project files.

No API key is required for setup. Install the app on your Mac or Windows PC and it starts monitoring supported local usage data.

The CLI check is a manual interruption. SessionWatcher keeps your limit, burn rate, and reset time visible in the Mac menu bar or Windows taskbar while you work.

Yes. SessionWatcher can show desktop notifications before your session or weekly usage becomes a problem.

Yes. SessionWatcher for Windows runs on Windows 10 (version 2004) or later and Windows 11, on x64 and ARM64. Your usage sits live in the Windows taskbar on Windows 11, or in a small window next to the taskbar on Windows 10. It tracks the same 20 tools as the Mac app, at the same prices, and one licence key works on both: Solo and Bundle cover 1 device, Pro covers up to 5 devices in any mix of Macs and Windows PCs. Desktop widgets, iCloud sync, the iPhone companion and Homebrew install are Mac-only. Details and download at sessionwatcher.com/windows.

Yes, with Pro for Teams: $40 per seat per year, or $4 per seat per month, with a 3-seat minimum. Each seat is Pro for one person, with one licence key per teammate covering up to 2 Macs, and one invoice for every seat. Reassign a seat when someone leaves and add seats as the team grows. A company that buys SessionWatcher for its staff, or reimburses them for it, needs Pro for Teams; the personal plans are for individuals paying their own way. It covers Macs only for now (for a Windows team, email contact@sessionwatcher.com). It is not a central dashboard: each teammate sees their own usage on their own machine. Buy it at sessionwatcher.com/teams.

On a Mac, SessionWatcher works on macOS 14+ (Sonoma and later), both Apple Silicon and Intel, and the app is signed and notarized by Apple. On Windows, it runs on Windows 10 (version 2004) or later and Windows 11, on x64 and ARM64.

Email contact@sessionwatcher.com within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. No questions asked.

Your last interruption cost you 1-3 hours.
SessionWatcher starts at $6.99.
