Show HN: macOS menu bar gauges for your Claude Code quota

Menu bar gauges for your Claude Code quota — one bar per account, like this:

(drawn for dark menu bars — white outlines)

Requires macOS and Homebrew . When macOS shows a Keychain permission dialog on the first refresh, click Always Allow .

The plugin reads your Claude Code OAuth token from the macOS Keychain ( read-only — it never refreshes or rewrites tokens, so it can't log you out) and queries the same usage endpoint that Claude Code's /usage screen uses. No passwords, no scraping, no third-party services.

Note: that endpoint is internal to Claude Code and undocumented, so a future Claude Code change may require a small fix here.

Either install path sets up SwiftBar via Homebrew if you don't have it. If an account shows ⚠, its token went stale from disuse — run that claude CLI once and the widget recovers on the next cycle.
