FuelGauge — Claude Usage Tracker Autor: Thomas SIHAPANYA

Paying for Claude Pro but flying blind on your usage?

FuelGauge puts a fuel gauge in your browser toolbar. One glance tells you how much AI budget you have left — and whether you're burning too fast or wasting what you paid for.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHY FUELGAUGE?

You pay $20/month for Claude. You get a vague "usage limit" with zero visibility. Then mid-session, mid-thought — you're cut off.

Or worse: the month ends and you realize you only used 40% of what you paid for. That's $12 wasted.

FuelGauge fixes both problems.

▸ Depletion prediction — "At this rate, you'll hit your limit Tuesday at 3pm"

HOW IT WORKS

FuelGauge reads your usage data from Claude's settings page (the same data you'd see manually). It stores everything locally in your browser — no data leaves your machine unless you opt into Cloud Sync.

▸ No account required
▸ No external server
▸ No tracking, no analytics on your usage
▸ Open data: your usage data stays on your device

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHO IS THIS FOR?

▸ Developers who live in Claude Code and can't afford to be cut off mid-task
▸ Writers, consultants, researchers who use Claude daily for work
▸ Anyone paying $20+/month and wanting to get full value from their subscription
