Burnrate puts Claude Code’s limits in the menu bar
A $29 Mac utility that turns Claude Code usage limits, burn rate, reset times, and history into a quiet menu-bar meter.
Field notes
The utility places its primary signal in the Mac menu bar rather than behind a dashboard: a central hairline drains as usage rises, while hover details show separate session and weekly caps with reset times. Its history view reads local Claude Code transcripts and summarizes activity across twelve weeks; the page says daily totals use a salted hash and that no filenames, paths, or content are retained. A future Pro tier for other AI coding tools is described as planned.
