Claude Usage Tracker

A desktop app for tracking Claude usage from an authenticated account session. Built to provide a lightweight dashboard and tray-based experience for monitoring limits, refreshing usage data, and receiving threshold-based alerts.

Built with Electron, React, and TypeScript, the app handles Claude login inside the desktop client, then reads usage data from a hidden authenticated window to avoid a separate headless browser flow.
