  description

  Claude Usage Bar adds a compact usage overlay directly inside claude.ai so you can track your Claude limits and current chat context without leaving the composer.
  
  - Inline composer overlay built directly into the Claude chat bar
  - Horizontal usage bar & wheel for quick access to you r usage and context
  - Hover details for 5-hour, weekly all-models, Claude Design, and routines usage, with usage predictions for your 5hr and weekly usage
  - Prompt cache timer
  - Toolbar with quick stats, manual refresh, and reset controls
  - Built-in settings page inside Claude for customizing the overlay
  - Optional labels and display controls for the bar, wheel, and pacing views
  
  CHANGELOG 1.0.1:
  - removed claude design's seperate usage bar, as per anthropic's combination of both usage limits.
  - Fixed location of claude usage bar settings to accomodate for the new ui, and improved loading times of the claude usage bar settings with lazy loading.
  - Added clipboard to store preset prompts easily, with tags.
  
  Claude Usage Bar is privacy-first. It uses your existing logged-in Claude browser session to read usage information on claude.ai, but it does not store your prompts, responses, cookies, auth headers, or raw Claude API payloads. It does not send your conversation text to anyone and doesn't have access to connections outside what your claude page provides. Settings, sanitized usage metadata, and numeric token or context estimates stay in your local browser storage. You have easy access to your stored data and how to delete it.
