Everything you need to stay in control

📊

30-day trends chart

🪟

Detachable window

Pop out the extension into a floating window you can pin next to your code editor. Stays visible even when you click away.

🌐

Chrome extension

Prefer to stay in the browser? The ClaudeOrb Chrome extension gives you the same live data as a popup in your toolbar.

How it works

No API keys. No weird permissions.

Claude's usage data only lives on claude.ai/settings/usage when you're logged in. ClaudeOrb reads it directly — nothing sketchy.

On first launch, a small login window opens. Sign into Claude.ai normally — the window closes automatically when your session is detected.

ClaudeOrb scrapes in the background

Every 15 seconds, the app silently loads your usage page in a hidden browser window and reads the numbers. No network traffic leaves your device.

Data stays local

Everything is stored on your machine. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry. Your Claude session cookie never leaves your computer.

Session remembered

You only log in once. After that ClaudeOrb remembers your session and starts monitoring automatically every time you launch it.

macOS security warning — what to do

When you first open ClaudeOrb, macOS will say "ClaudeOrb.app cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." This is because the app isn't yet signed with an Apple Developer certificate — it doesn't mean the app is unsafe. The source code is fully open on GitHub. Here's how to bypass the warning:

Option 1 — Privacy & Security settings (easiest)

Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll down and you'll see a message saying ClaudeOrb was blocked. Click Open Anyway. You only need to do this once.

Option 2 — Terminal command

Open Terminal and run this command, then open the app normally: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ClaudeOrb.app

Option 3 — Right-click to open

Right-click ClaudeOrb in your Applications folder, select Open, then click Open in the dialog that appears. This bypasses Gatekeeper for this one launch and remembers your choice.
