CLAUDACITY
Know your limits.
Real-time Claude usage monitoring that lives in your menu bar.
Stop guessing when you'll hit the wall.
You've been here before.
Deep in a flow state. Three files refactored. Context loaded. And then the thought creeps in—am I about to hit my limit?
So you stop. Type /usage. Break your context. Read the numbers. Try to do the math. All to answer a question that should be a glance.
What if you always knew?
Always visible.
Never in the way.
Claudacity lives in your menu bar and shows your Claude usage at a glance. One click to see exactly where you stand.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Menu Bar Native
Lives where you need it — your macOS menu bar. One glance shows your status. One click shows the details.
Color-Coded Status
Green, yellow, orange, red — know your usage level instantly. The status dot in your menu bar tells the story.
Dual Window Tracking
Monitor both your 5-hour session window and 7-day weekly window simultaneously. Know which limit you're closer to.
Threshold Alerts
Set custom notification thresholds at any level. Get warned at 75%, 90%, or wherever you want — before you hit the wall.
Smart Polling
Adaptive mode polls every 15 seconds near your limit, backs off to 2 minutes when you're in the clear. Or set a fixed interval.
Usage Trends
See how your usage patterns play out over time. Historical charts help you plan your sessions and understand your workflow.
Start your window
before you need it.
Schedule prompts to fire at whatever times work for you — 6 AM, noon, whenever. Set as many as you want. Your 5-hour window starts automatically, giving you three full windows in a workday instead of two.

Common questions.
How do I check my Claude usage limits without breaking my flow?
Claudacity is a macOS menu bar app that shows your Claude usage limits at a glance. Instead of typing /usage in Claude Code and breaking your context, Claudacity displays a color-coded status dot and percentage directly in your menu bar. One click reveals detailed 5-hour and 7-day window utilization with reset countdown timers.
What are Claude's rate limits and how do the usage windows work?
Claude's subscription plans (Pro, Max, Team) enforce two rolling usage windows: a 5-hour window that tracks short-term usage intensity, and a 7-day window that tracks weekly usage. When either window reaches 100%, you'll be temporarily rate-limited until the window resets. Claudacity monitors both windows simultaneously and shows exactly when each will reset.
Does Claudacity work with Claude Code (the CLI)?
Yes. Claudacity automatically reads your Claude Code OAuth credentials from ~/.claude/.credentials.json and monitors usage in the background. It's specifically designed for developers using Claude Code who need to track their rate limits without interrupting their coding workflow.
How do scheduled prompts help maximize Claude usage?
Scheduled prompts fire a minimal API call at times you configure (e.g., 6 AM before you start work). This starts your 5-hour usage window early, so it resets by the time you need it. Without scheduled prompts, most developers only get 2 full usage windows per workday. With them, you can get 3 full windows — a 50% increase in productive Claude time.
Is Claudacity a subscription or one-time purchase?
Claudacity is a one-time purchase of $2.99 with a 3-day free trial. There are no subscriptions, no recurring fees, and you get free updates forever. It includes all features: real-time monitoring, dual window tracking, threshold alerts, scheduled prompts, usage trends, adaptive polling, and global keyboard shortcut.
What macOS version does Claudacity require?
Claudacity requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. It ships as a universal binary supporting both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs. The app runs as a lightweight menu bar utility with no Dock icon, using minimal system resources.
