what do people make with this?

VIBE 1

Keep an eye on your 5-hour and 7-day Claude Code usage limits without checking manually.

VIBE 2

Get a visual HUD warning before you run out of Claude Code usage for the day.

VIBE 3

Chain it alongside an existing custom statusline instead of replacing it.

VIBE 4

Verify for yourself that the tool makes no network requests by inspecting the build config.

in plain english

Clawdometer is a small Windows desktop app that shows you how much of your Claude Code usage limit you have used, in a little always-on-top window and a system tray icon. If you use Claude Code a lot, you may not know how close you are to hitting your 5 hour or 7 day usage limits until you suddenly get blocked. This app puts those numbers in front of you at a glance. It works by plugging into Claude Code's own statusline feature, which is a small command that Claude Code runs after every response and feeds usage data into. Clawdometer installs itself as that statusline command, if you do not already have one set up, and reads the numbers Claude Code hands it. When that live data goes stale, for example because you are using Claude on the web or mobile instead of a terminal, it instead runs the official Claude command line tool quietly in the background to fetch a fresh usage report. A notable design choice here is that Clawdometer makes no network requests of its own at all. It never talks to Anthropic's servers directly and never touches your login credentials. All the usage numbers come only from Claude Code's own official features, either the statusline hook or that background command. The project says this is checkable directly in the code, since the build is configured to reject any networking code from being compiled in at all. You can pick from six different visual styles for the HUD, from a simple percentage display to more decorative animated designs, switchable anytime from the tray menu. The tool is unofficial and not made or endorsed by Anthropic. It is written in Rust using the Tauri framework for the desktop app, and installers are provided for Windows, though building from source is also supported if you would rather not run a downloaded binary. The full README is longer than what was shown.
