LimitBar

Daily coding sessions

Keep your 5-hour session window visible at all times so you can plan when to take breaks or switch tasks.

Weekly limit tracking

Monitor your all-models weekly limit and per-model limits (like Fable) to avoid hitting caps mid-project.

Team collaboration

Stay aware of shared account limits when multiple people are using the same Claude Code plan.

Long-running workflows

Avoid being caught off guard by usage resets during extended development sessions.

Rate-limit recovery

The app retries quietly through short blips and backs off during sustained 429 errors, so you always see your last good numbers.

Real-time limit display

Shows every usage limit Anthropic reports by name—session window, weekly limit, and per-model limits—updated every 60 seconds (configurable).

Color warnings per limit

Turns orange past 75% used and red past 90% used, with configurable thresholds so you can set your own alert levels.

Dropdown details panel

Provides exact percentages, reset times, last-update timestamp, a manual refresh button, and settings access.

Menu bar settings

Toggle between percent used or percent remaining, and show or hide any individual limit directly from the menu bar.

Config file customization

Adjust poll interval, color thresholds, and label overrides via a config file.

Rate-limit resilience

Automatically retries through short blips, backs off during sustained 429 episodes, and always shows your last good numbers instead of going blank.

Source code included

The installer compiles the app locally on your machine, so nothing opaque runs on your Mac.

Zero token/credit usage

Reads Anthropic's usage metadata endpoint without invoking a model, so watching your limits costs nothing.

Automatic startup and crash recovery

Starts at login and restarts itself if it ever crashes; includes a clean uninstaller.
