Clow shows, at a glance, how much is left of your Claude Code usage windows — the 5-hour one and the weekly one — and projects when they should run out at the pace you are working. WHAT IT DOES • Both windows, always in view: percentage, gauge and a countdown to the reset. • An honest projection: "at this pace, you run out at 3:20 PM" — or the relief of "won't run out before the reset". • Alerts at 25%, 50%, 70% and 100% of each window, by notification. • A home screen widget that keeps projecting and counting between refreshes. • Trend: the history of the current window, with the projection dashed to the end. • Rhythm: which hours of the day burn the most quota, from today back to the last 30 days. • Panel mode: full screen in black to leave the phone propped on your desk, with the mascot alive, a giant number and a per-second countdown. • And Clow, a little robot whose mood shifts with your consumption — with a tab to work off the stress when the tokens run out. HOW IT WORKS The app queries the Anthropic API with a minimal request (about 9 tokens of your own quota) just to read your account's usage limit headers. That is where the percentages, the reset times and the status of each window come from. WHAT YOU NEED An account with access to Claude Code and a token you generate yourself, in your own terminal, with the command `claude setup-token`. The app creates no account, has no login and has no subscription of its own. JUST WANT A LOOK? Tap "Explore with sample data" on the first screen: the app opens in full with sample data, no token required. PRIVACY The token stays in your device's Keychain. Nothing is sent to us: the app talks only to the Anthropic API, about your own account. There are no ads, trackers or analytics. Not affiliated with Anthropic. Claude and Claude Code are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC.
