Products & Services

Claude Meter

2026-06-12

Free, MIT-licensed native macOS menu-bar app that displays Claude five-hour session and rolling weekly usage as a Dynamic Island-style pill, with reset countdowns and a hover detail card. It reads the authenticated usage endpoint used by claude.ai inside a hidden WebKit view and keeps the session cookie local to the app.

Tulip

Prompt-to-image playground using a Cloudflare Worker queue and a self-hosted Stable Diffusion agent on a home GPU.

Knowledge Base

Pure HTML/CSS/vanilla-JS multi-topic knowledge base. Its first topic is VMware and Networking, with 49 concepts across eight phases, learning, interactive troubleshooting, reference cheat-sheets, search, deep links, and progress tracking.

sanchitkd.com Personal Portfolio

Private, zero-cost portfolio built with HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, deployed through Cloudflare Pages with Cloudflare Workers for a contact form, a Durable Objects/SSE visit counter, and a secure proxy.

Market Position

Claude Meter is positioned as a small, free, open-source, privacy-first macOS utility for Claude usage visibility. Its differentiation is local storage, no usage analytics, reset countdowns, per-model weekly-cap visibility, and a menu-bar/Dynamic-Island-style interface; the broader category also includes other macOS Claude usage trackers and paid/App Store utilities.

Leadership

Executive Team

Sanchit Dikshit

Technical Support Engineer at PromptQL; Senior Technical Support Specialist at OpenText (GitHub profile)

Works with infrastructure and developer experience. His public profiles identify previous work with Hasura/PromptQL and VMware by Broadcom; he lists AWS Solutions Architect Associate, VCAP-DCV Design, and VCP-DCV certifications and experience across VMware VCF, Linux, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, GraphQL, and Cloudflare.

Founding Story

Sanchit describes his projects as personal, hands-on experiments intended to solve practical problems. Claude Meter began after he repeatedly hit Claude usage limits mid-task without warning; he initially explored parsing the Claude CLI output, then pivoted to reading the same authenticated usage endpoint used by claude.ai.

Business Model

Revenue Model

The publicly described personal projects are free or zero-cost rather than commercial offerings. Claude Meter is explicitly free, open source, MIT-licensed, and has no subscription or upsell; the portfolio is described as zero-cost.
