Think of this as a fuel tank for your Claude usage: it starts full each week and drains a little as you work, so you can see at a glance how much you've got left. There's nothing to configure — Claude does the work for you, jotting down each session for next time.
One thing to know: this needs Claude Desktop (Cowork), because that's the version that can save to a file on your computer. (The web version can't — and that's the only catch.)
Just three quick steps — about a minute, and only once:
Save this file in a Cowork project folder (so Claude can reach it) — for example ~/Documents/Claude/Projects/fuel-gauge/claude-fuel-gauge.html — and bookmark it so you can pop back any time.
Copy the box below and paste it to Claude once: either in a Cowork chat, or into your Claude preferences to set & forget. Don't worry about where you saved the file — Claude will just ask if it needs to know.
Reopen this page whenever you like to check your level. That's the whole thing. 🚗
⌨ For Claude — you don't need to read this
This is just a note Claude follows behind the scenes. No need to understand it — copy it and paste it to Claude once, and you're set.
Want a heads-up in chat instead of checking back? Just ask Claude to "check in" — it'll tell you where you stand after heavy work, so you never have to wonder.
A friendly estimate, not real billing. Everything stays on your device — nothing is ever sent anywhere.
