TokenWatch

TokenWatch is a Mac application designed to help people keep track of how much they use Claude.ai and how much it costs. It runs on Macs and shows you your usage in real-time right from your menu bar. The app uses colors like green, orange, and red to show if you are using a little, a moderate amount, or a lot of your Claude.ai subscription. It also tells you how long you have until you reach your limit and when your next session will reset, even sending you notifications.

Benefits

TokenWatch helps you understand your Claude.ai usage by tracking how many messages you have left for different models like Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku. It keeps a history of your usage for up to 30 days, showing you charts and comparisons to help you see when you use Claude.ai the most. You can also export this history to analyze it further. The app can send you alerts when you are getting close to your limits, and you can even set quiet hours so it doesn't bother you with notifications at certain times. If you want to track costs, you can connect an optional Admin API key to see daily and monthly spending and which models cost the most.

Use Cases

This app is useful for anyone who has a Claude.ai Pro, Team, or Enterprise subscription and wants to manage their usage and spending. It's great for individuals who want to stay within their message limits or budget. You can also use Siri Shortcuts and Spotlight to quickly check your Claude usage by just asking Siri or typing a command. This makes it easy to get quick updates without opening the app.

Pricing

The app is priced at 99,99.
