About

Claude Code Tray is an unofficial, community-built Windows system-tray monitor for your Claude Code rate-limit usage. It draws a crisp, DPI-aware vector icon showing the current usage percentage with a Task Manager-style fill bar, and projects when you'll hit 100% — a proportional pace line for the weekly window and a burn-rate regression for the 5h session and extra windows — turning the bar vivid red when you're on track to run out before the window resets. Switch which window the icon tracks (session 5h, week 7d, or extra) from the right-click menu. When a window hands your quota back, a bespoke color-coded toast slides up to announce it: Surprise! (early weekly reset), Bonus! (mid-window credit), New week!, and Fresh session! — each toggleable in Settings. A Usage insights (24h) submenu shows a local, price-weighted breakdown of your usage (from subagents, large-context share, and a by-model split) computed from your own Claude Code session transcripts — no extra API calls and never reading message content. The app reuses the OAuth token Claude Code already stores, so there is nothing to configure, and it self-updates from GitHub Releases.
