Live token stream badge and cache suggestions beat Anthropic's web dashboard for daily driving.
Strengths
- •Parses local conversation JSONLs to show token speed without API polling.
- •Suggests prompt-cache optimizations by scanning sessions for repeated prefixes automatically.
- •Single pip install works across Linux, macOS, and Windows without dependencies.
Weaknesses
- •Tightly coupled to Claude Code CLI; breaks if Anthropic changes headers.
- •Requires local file access to conversation logs, raising potential privacy concerns.

Claude Rate Widget Native macOS Widget to Monitor Claude Code Limits
Shows all four Claude limits (Session, Weekly, Weekly Sonnet, Overage) in one widget with color-coded warnings and reset countdowns — exactly the tiny UX gap heavy users kept bumping into. The author went native: Swift + WidgetKit, OAuth PKCE (no API keys), App Group UserDefaults for widget/app sync and a Homebrew tap for install — practical choices that make this something you'd actually run on your desktop. Limited to macOS Sonoma and Claude subscribers, so great for the audience but narrow in reach.
