Code Meter - Claude Usage Monitor macOS

Code Meter is a helpful application for macOS that keeps track of how much you use the Anthropic API, which powers tools like Claude. It shows you your API usage in real time, so you don't have to guess where you stand with your limits. This means you can use AI tools with more confidence.

Benefits

Code Meter helps you avoid unexpected costs by showing your API usage clearly. It makes it easy to see your limits and how much you have used. The app is designed to be secure, as it reads your API token directly from your Mac's keychain and sends it straight to Anthropic's servers without using any other computers in between. All your usage history is stored only on your own computer.

Use Cases

This app is perfect for anyone using the Claude Code CLI or other tools that rely on the Anthropic API on their Mac. Developers and users who want to keep a close eye on their API consumption can benefit from seeing their usage history and current standing directly from their menu bar. It's useful for managing API budgets and understanding how much AI processing power is being used.

Pricing

Code Meter offers a free trial. After the trial period, a one-time purchase is needed to unlock the Pro version for lifetime use. All payments are handled through Apple.

Vibes

Users can monitor their API usage directly from the menu bar, eliminating the need to guess their current standing. The app is designed to be secure, ensuring that the API token never leaves the user's device.

Additional Information

Code Meter is an independent app created by a Claude user and is not officially connected to Anthropic. It uses anonymous data collection to help improve the app, with all data hosted securely in Germany. The app also uses services like RevenueCat to manage purchases, but no personal data is shared.
