Claude Double Checker
See Claude's 2× usage window live in your macOS menu bar Discussion | Link.
Our Take
Nayan Surya, Akshay Kumar, Raphael Duhs, and Christian Miles built something small but genuinely useful—a menu bar app that shows Claude's 2× usage window right there in your macOS menu bar. No tab switching, no checking the web interface, just live visibility into how much of your Claude allocation you've burned through. If you're using Claude Code or Claude Desktop and you've ever lost track of where you stand in your usage window, this is the kind of utility that just makes sense.
Four people built this. That's it. No seed round, no demo day, no VC backing—just four developers who probably got tired of manually checking their usage and decided to fix it themselves. It's the kind of tool that makes you wonder why Anthropic didn't build it natively. Simple, focused, solves one specific pain point. Sometimes that's all a product needs to be.
Based in wherever these four are sitting. If you're on Claude and hate the usage blind spot, this is your fix.
