## What is Usage Gauge?

See your AI assistant usage right on your Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets - no more opening the settings page over and over.

Usage Gauge is an independent companion utility for people who subscribe to Anthropic's Claude service and want their remaining limits visible at a glance.

FEATURES
- 5-hour session window and 7-day weekly usage at a glance
- Per-model weekly limits shown separately
- Extra usage credits: amount used, limit and remaining balance
- Reset countdown for every limit window
- Three Lock Screen widget styles (circular, rectangular, inline)
- Small and medium Home Screen widgets
- Refresh button right on the widget - update instantly without opening the app
- Demo Mode: try the whole app and every widget with sample data, no account needed

PRIVACY FIRST
- Your sign-in credential is stored encrypted in your device Keychain only
- Connects only to the service's official servers - we run no servers of our own
- Zero data collection, zero ads, zero tracking

To show your own numbers, the app needs an account with the service (free accounts work). Demo Mode works without any account.

This is an independent third-party tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic PBC. Claude and Anthropic are trademarks of Anthropic PBC, used here only to describe compatibility.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-20

Usage history now has its own screen. Tap it from the dashboard to see the 30-day trend and daily spend charts, so the main screen stays readable at a glance instead of being stretched by two charts. The charts themselves are unchanged.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-19

• After signing in to claude.ai, the web page's loading animation no longer flashes by — you now see a clear "finishing setup" state
• Refreshed App Store preview screenshots in all four languages

### 1.1 — 2026-08-18

New: 30-day usage history.

• Usage trend chart: daily peaks for the 5-hour window and weekly usage
• Daily spend chart: derived from your actual credit amounts day over day, not an estimate
• Your data still stays on your device — no server, no account

Also: error messages are now fully localized.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-17

No release notes.
