CmdPal dock extension for keeping track of Claude Usage

Hey r/PowerToys,

I built an extension for the dock in CmdPal after getting tired of Claude Code running out of tokens in the middle of projects. I wanted a way to easily keep an eye over current usage.

ClaudeUsage is a lightweight extension for the new PowerToys Command Palette that lets you check your Claude usage without leaving your keyboard.

It currently includes:

  • πŸ“Š Live session & weekly usage in CmdPal
  • πŸ“ˆ A detailed usage page with progress bars
  • πŸ”‹ A "low token" warning when you're close to your session limit

I also wanted it to be something I'd actually trust installing, so it's built with a strict zero-phone-home approach:

  • Uses your existing local Claude Code credentials
  • Talks only to Anthropic's official API
  • No telemetry, tracking, or token collection

Built in C#/.NET 9. Free and open source (MIT).

If you're using Claude Code / PowerToys on Windows, I'd love to know what you think.
