Father • Husband • Triathlete • SSW Solution Architect
I'm a Solution Architect at SSW in Brisbane. I've been in the Microsoft ecosystem since .NET 2.0, championing Azure DevOps since it was TFPreview, and a Microsoft MVP every year since 2014. These days I'm designing and building in Azure, helping teams write better C#, and sharing what I find here.

Your Claude usage limits in the macOS menu bar, in your timezone. The bar shows the highest percentage across your limits; the dropdown breaks each one out (session, weekly, and any model-scoped limits) with a progress bar and reset time. No cost tracking, no charts, just the numbers from Claude's usage page at a glance.
