Frequently Asked Questions
What is Usage for Claude?
Usage for Claude is a macOS menu bar application that displays your Claude usage statistics with automatic background updates. It authenticates with claude.ai and extracts usage data directly from your account, providing convenient access to your session and weekly usage limits without opening a browser.
Is this an official Anthropic application?

What accounts are supported?

Is there an iOS or iPad app?

How does iCloud sync work?
