Windows 11 desktop widget
Your Claude quota, always in sight.
Claude Usage sits on your desktop as a slim bar. It shows what is left for the current session and for the week, and warns you before you run out in the middle of something.
What it does
Session and week
Two gauges read straight from your Claude account, refreshed continuously, with the exact time of the next reset.
History
Your usage peaks are kept on your own machine to estimate what is left before the period ends.
Calendar reminders
Optional. Reset deadlines can be published to your Google Calendar, in a dedicated calendar the app creates.
Automatic updates
New versions install themselves and the widget restarts. Every release is signed; an unsigned one is refused.
The Google Calendar link
It is optional and off by default — the widget works fully without it. When
you turn it on, the app creates a separate calendar named Claude Usage and writes
one event per reset deadline. You then know from your phone, or from your work calendar, when
your quota comes back.
The app only writes to the calendar it created. It never reads the contents of your other calendars, never modifies them, and never exports an event. Everything is spelled out in the privacy policy.
Where your data lives
- On your computer, inside your Windows profile — settings, history, logs.
- No account to create, no server collecting your usage.
- The only exchange with us is downloading updates.
Installing
Download the archive, extract it, then double-click Installer.cmd. It installs
into your user profile without administrator rights and creates the startup
shortcut. Later updates arrive on their own.
