Finally shows the prompt-cache countdown so you know when cheap tokens expire.

Strengths
  • •Reads usage data from same-origin requests with zero external telemetry or servers.
  • •Context-window donut visualizes branch-specific token usage better than native UI.
Weaknesses
  • •Only works for claude.ai; useless for API users or other LLM interfaces.
  • •Simple DOM injection that could break if Anthropic changes their HTML structure.
