YeahClaude Counter shows you your real Claude Code usage — read privately from your own Mac. Add smart session tracking, custom timers and exportable history on iPhone, iPad and a native Mac app, and you're finally in control of every session. THE PROBLEM Claude's session-based pricing means every session counts. Start one accidentally? Money wasted. Lose track of your usage? Budget blown. Need to report hours to your manager or bill a client? Good luck piecing that together from memory. NEW — NATIVE MAC APP - Session, Usage, Timers and History in a proper Mac window, with a sidebar or top-bar layout - A menu bar item with the live 5-hour window countdown and today's totals, visible even with the window closed - Keyboard shortcuts for every screen and action, and a Settings window (⌘,) - Record & Sync: one click records a session already running in Claude and lands your timers on Claude's real reset time - One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac — Pro bought on any device unlocks all three REAL USAGE DASHBOARD - Your actual Claude Code usage, read directly from Claude Code's local logs on your Mac - Live 5-hour window tracking, so you always know where you stand before the next reset - Tokens, responses, and per-model breakdowns - Cost estimates (Pro): what today, the last 7 days, and the last 30 days would cost at API rates - Run it on your Mac and your iPhone and iPad show the same live numbers, synced through your private iCloud SESSION TRACKING - One-tap session start/stop with confirmation alerts - Visual countdown showing sessions remaining - Grace session warning before you hit your limit - Project descriptions to track what you worked on CUSTOM TIMERS (Pro) - Auto-save progress reminders - Custom timers for your workflow — perfect for Pomodoro or timed work blocks HISTORY, STATISTICS & EXPORT - Complete session log with dates, durations, and descriptions - Search by keyword, filter by period (today, week, month, all time) - Usage trends, session analysis, and average session length - Export to text or CSV for expense reports and client billing (Pro) WIDGETS - Sessions remaining and days-until-reset at a glance - Active timer and save-progress reminders - Claude usage on your lock screen and home screen WHO IT'S FOR - Anyone who wants to stay within budget on Claude's sessions - Employees who need to show Claude Code usage for management review - Contractors logging sessions by project for accurate client billing PRIVACY FIRST Your data never touches our servers. Usage is read from Claude Code's own logs on your Mac, and syncing between your devices happens entirely inside your private iCloud — we can't see it. No accounts, no tracking, no third-party analytics. AVAILABLE IN 11 LANGUAGES English (UK), English (US), Afrikaans, Ελληνικά, Français, Español, Deutsch, Nederlands, 中文 简体, 中文 繁體, and 日本語.

Pro: 50 sessions per month, unlimited custom timers, lock screen widgets, unlimited history and statistics, cost estimates, data export (text & CSV), and all future Pro features — on iPhone, iPad and Mac with one purchase. Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription (annual saves about 16%), or as Pro Lifetime, a single purchase that unlocks Pro for good.
