Claude doesn't show you token usage, cache timers, or quotas — so I built it myself (100% Local)

Claude has a 200K context window, a 5-minute prompt cache, and a weekly usage quota.

It shows you none of it.

So I built Claude Token Counter — a Chrome Extension + Claude Desktop patcher that surfaces everything in real time.
