Claude Battery – usage at a glance. A minimalist macOS menu bar widget
Turns Claude usage numbers into an immediately understandable battery UI — two menu-bar icons (session and weekly), red alerts under 20%, per-model breakdown, and a weekly reset countdown in a compact popover. The multi-account support (up to 5) and nickname editing are thoughtful touches for people juggling personal and work accounts. It isn't revolutionary, but the battery metaphor and tiny friction to install (DMG + menu-bar UX) make this the kind of tool non-technical teammates will actually use.

3sessions – A menu bar timer that counts down your free/work time
It drops a single SwiftBar plugin into your menu bar and cycles live countdowns for 'before work', 'work', and 'after work' sessions with a one-line curl + install.sh — neat for anyone already running SwiftBar. Smart, low-friction approach: no heavy app to run, just the plugin refresh loop that keeps the timer visible. It's useful and well-scoped, but not groundbreaking — I'd like quick options for custom session lengths and audible alerts.
