Show HN: Live Claude Usage HUD for a $38 Thermalright Trofeo Vision LCD
Claude Trofeo HUD transforms a $38 Thermalright Trofeo Vision LCD into a live desktop HUD for Claude usage. Running on macOS, it displays session and weekly limit bars with reset countdowns, today's token consumption, hypothetical API costs, current session activity, and an hourly token sparkline. The HUD reads Claude Code's local logs and OAuth token securely, with all data staying local except usage queries to Anthropic. Setup is straightforward via uv and Python, and it can run as a launchd agent for automatic startup. This project is perfect for Claude power users who want real-time visibility into their usage and costs without leaving their desk.
A desk HUD that shows live Claude usage on a Thermalright Trofeo Vision 6.86" LCD (1280×480, USB-C, ~$38), driven from macOS.

I just had claude write me a statusline:
https://gist.github.com/abgoyal/bde7af4ba0ba4d19094361667dac...
Shows the 5h and weekly usage %, when it resets, current model, estimated spend in the session, context used, cwd and project.
Save it in .claude/
and then add a snippet to settings.json:
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "bash $HOME/.claude/statusline-command.sh"
}

It's so sad that this is necessary. Why can't Anthropic get the UX of metering right?
