Like iStat Menus for your Claude subscription. A macOS menu bar app that shows your remaining headroom so you never get surprise-throttled mid-task.
Why This Exists
Claude Pro and Max subscribers have no passive way to see how much capacity they have left. The only options — /usage, the web dashboard, browser extensions — all interrupt your workflow. cc-hdrm polls the usage API in the background and puts the answer in your menu bar. Zero tokens spent, zero workflow interruption.
