Features

Everything you need to pace your Claude day.

Designed to stay out of your way until the moment you need it — then tell you everything in one glance.

Live session graph

Watch your usage unfold across the current session window. Spot heavy stretches and plan long tasks before you hit the wall.

Glanceable status

A tiny color-coded indicator in your menu bar shows your headroom without even opening the app.

Session & weekly limits

Both of your Claude usage windows, side by side, with clear percentages and status labels.

Reset countdowns

Know exactly when your limits refresh — down to the minute — so you can time your next deep-work session.

Always up to date

Auto-refreshes in the background, or tap refresh for an instant update whenever you like.

Native, light, and quiet

A true macOS menu bar app. No Dock icon, no windows to manage, no clutter — just a click away when you need it, and invisible when you don't.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Claude Assist really free?

What does it show?

Your current Claude session usage and weekly usage as percentages, a status label for each, countdowns until each limit resets, and a graph of your usage across the current session.

How often does it update?

It refreshes automatically on a short interval — you can see the countdown at the bottom of the popover — and you can hit the refresh button at any time for an instant update.

Will it clutter my Mac?

No. It runs only in the menu bar, with no Dock icon or windows. Quit it any time from the power button in the popover.
