Show HN: Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs

I kept slamming into Claude Code limits mid-session and couldn’t find a quick way to see how close I was getting, so I hacked together a tiny local tracker.

Streams your prompt + completion usage in real time

Predicts whether you’ll hit the cap before the session ends

Runs 100 % locally (no auth, no server)

Presets for Pro, Max × 5, Max × 20 — tweak a JSON if your plan’s different

It’s already spared me a few “why did my run just stop?” moments, but it’s still rough around the edges. Feedback, bug reports, and PRs welcome!
