Timeline (last 90 days)
clawd-usage-winwidget is a Windows desktop widget shared by a developer on Reddit, used to display Claude Code's plan quota remaining in real time.
clawd-usage-winwidget queries account usage by running the `claude -p "/usage"` command in headless mode in the background, and because it only queries account status rather than invoking model inference, it generates no additional Token costs.
The information displayed by this widget includes the current session quota, weekly limit, and Fable limit, with data automatically refreshing once per minute.
clawd-usage-winwidget integrates the status of all currently running Claude Code sessions (working/waiting for input/idle), Anthropic service health status, and information on whether a new version of Claude Code is available for update.
All data in clawd-usage-winwidget comes from the registry `~/.claude/sessions` maintained by Claude Code itself, and the runtime requirements are Windows 10/11, PowerShell 5.1, and a logged-in Claude Code, with no additional dependencies to install.
Clawd is the pixel-style mascot in the widget, reacting in real time according to usage status: sleeping when there are no sessions, running when a session is working, raising a question mark and waving when waiting for input, sweating profusely when the quota is near its limit, and lying flat on its back with legs in the air when the quota reaches 100%.
clawd-usage-winwidget itself was completed using Claude Code, with about 3000 lines of code split into about 18 modular files.
When running `claude -p "/usage"` from Git Bash, `/usage` is parsed as a file path and sent to the model as a prompt, so clawd-usage-winwidget is restricted to invoking this command only from PowerShell.
clawd-usage-winwidget is completely free and open source, uses the MIT license, can be cloned or downloaded as a ZIP from GitHub, and starts by double-clicking `start-widget.vbs`; it is not affiliated with Anthropic officially and is a community personal work.
