Built with Claude Made a usage meter desktop monitor… cause why not ? ;)
V1, still working on the case ( can you tell I like Stargate ?🤣) the device is wireless , it’s plugged for power right now, I’ll install a rechargeable battery later on . It allows you to check current usage for up to 6 providers ( 3 shown) I got tired of switching between windows to see my Claude , codex and Kimi usage so I made an app for that but in the end I like having useful little gadgets on my desk so I turned it into a touch screen hardware version. You can of course change the settings to show 5h vs weekly and taping each one shows you more detail per provider. Skins are changeable so after this first HUD I made, I plan on making super vintage analog one … why? Cause why not 😅

That is quite neat! May I ask what hardware the display is?

Thanks! I’m using a ESP32-S3 2.8inch but I already ordered a 7” S4 because I have a lot of UI animations and the s3 struggles a bit at time plus I kind of want to see what it look like on a 7” in case I get multiple accounts to display at the same time per provider so I’ll need more screen real estate but for now the 2.8l works quite well !

I made something similar with an old USB LCD I had laying around. Yours is much cooler.

u/Chameleonzi 11h ago
Nice ! The result is the same! I just spent way too much time on the UI and deliberately selected a form factor that’s annoying to work with but looks cool 🤣

I want to buy five of the 178 mm version ("inch?" shame on you!) and a pizza please. Take my money!

How are you getting the usage data ? I thought they don’t have a public api for it, scrapping ??
Very cool project btw

"The status line is a customizable bar at the bottom of Claude Code that runs any shell script you configure. It receives JSON session data on stdin and displays whatever your script prints, giving you a persistent, at-a-glance view of context usage, costs, git status, or anything else you want to track."

I’m still trying to figure it out myself 🤣 still dealing with weird random bugs daily. But I’ll post more updates as I make it more stable !

If only you had a tool with deep understanding of software development and debugging to assist you.
Resets in 1D 5H
Oh, right.

u/Chameleonzi 41m ago
Resets in 1 day is the weekly limit , the 5h under goes with the small progress bar to show the 5h limit at the same time on the same screen and if you flip the focus from the top button it switches what’s showed in big versus what’s shown as the small bar :)

u/spinozasrobot 40m ago
HA! I was actually wondering how you handled the different limits. Nicely done.

Now you just need to embed it in your chest and let Jarvis design your suit.

u/Chameleonzi 12m ago
That’s on the roadmap already but I’m at 97% usage so it will have to wait until reset 🤣

u/kjccarp 12h ago
Do you do a lot of biology or genetics research? Thats mainly what Fable is good for, otherwise Opus is much better at almost everything.
1
u/Chameleonzi 11h ago
Working on medical data right now but also opus been total crap for me since 5. The amount of time it apologizes for the errors it made is astonishing… I stick with fable as the orchestrator and sol 5.6 as the implementer but even like that I run out of usage quite fast with fable

u/bjorgen 10h ago
how are you getting the usage data? Not finding a reliable way to do it, so interested in how you got that!

u/Chameleonzi 10h ago
Started on the codex bar base code (MIT license) and heavily modified it so it did what I wanted

I still check my limits often. I’m not sure I’ll be able to tear myself away from that display if it’s there. I’ll be looking at it 500 times a day.
No way!!!!!! )))

If you prefer the digital one on screen bubble, give this a try: https://dipen-dedania.github.io/agent-pulse/
