Watch ClaudeMeter in action
0:45You are coding in the zone. Then Claude just... stops.
No warning.
You are mid-refactor, Opus is crushing it, and suddenly responses degrade. Claude silently switched to Sonnet. Your context window is gone. Your momentum is dead.
No visibility.
Anthropic does not show real-time usage in the CLI. No progress bar. No countdown. You find out you hit the limit after the damage is done.
No control.
Switching models means editing config files in the terminal. Per project? Forget it. You burn Opus quota on a project that only needs Haiku.
Every developer using Claude Code has felt this. Most just accept it.
ClaudeMeter. Always visible. Always in control.
A native macOS menu bar app that monitors your Claude Code usage in real time and gives you full model control — without leaving your workflow.
