Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 9, 2026 by jayson-jia-dev Closed Apr 12, 2026
Hi! I built a free open-source tool that might be useful for Claude Code users:
cc-token-status
Claude Code usage dashboard in your macOS menu bar. Costs, plan limits, trends, user level — all in one click. No app to install, no server to run, just a single Python script.
Features:
- Plan usage limits — live 5h session & 7d weekly quotas with progress bars from Anthropic API
- Cost & token overview — API-equivalent cost with accurate per-model pricing (Opus 4.5/4.6 at $5/$25)
- Subscription ROI — how much your Pro/Max/Team plan saves vs API pricing
- User level — 🌑→🌕→👑 cultivation rank based on multi-dimension scoring
- Today at a glance — today's spending, tokens, and message count
- Daily details — full cost history (newest first, older dates expandable)
- Model breakdown — per-model usage (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku) with percentages
- Hourly activity — sparkline charts showing which hours you're most active
- Project ranking — which projects consume the most tokens
- Multi-machine sync — iCloud Drive auto-sync across Macs, zero config
- Usage alerts — macOS notifications at 80% and 95% plan limits
- Settings menu — toggle notifications, auto-update, launch at login, switch plan
- Auto-update — checks GitHub daily, silently downloads new versions
- 5 languages — EN, 中文, ES, FR, 日本語 — auto-detected from system
- Dark & light mode — adapts to macOS appearance
Install (one-liner):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jayson-jia-dev/cc-token-status/main/install.sh | bash
