Windows `> TARGET: WINDOWS_x64`

1. Download claude-usage-windows-amd64.zip from releases
2. Extract the ZIP file
3. Right-click install-windows.ps1 → "Run with PowerShell"
4. Find "Claude Usage" in Start Menu

Manual Installation:

# Or run from PowerShell directly:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install-windows.ps1

# To uninstall:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install-windows.ps1 -Uninstall

What gets installed:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\claude-usage\claude-usage.exe
Start Menu shortcut
Startup shortcut (autostart on login)

macOS `> TARGET: MACOS (Universal)`

# Option 1: Download DMG (recommended)
1. Download Claude-Usage-*.dmg from releases
2. Open the DMG file
3. Drag "Claude Usage" to Applications folder
4. Right-click → Open (first time only, to bypass Gatekeeper)

# Option 2: Command line install
curl -sL https://github.com/utajum/claude-usage/releases/latest/download/claude-usage-darwin-arm64 -o claude-usage
chmod +x claude-usage
./claude-usage

Enable autostart:

# Copy the LaunchAgent plist (from source repo)
cp assets/macos/com.github.utajum.claude-usage.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.github.utajum.claude-usage.plist

Linux `> TARGET: LINUX (x64/ARM64)`

One-liner install (recommended):

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/utajum/claude-usage/master/scripts/install-linux.sh | bash

This automatically:

Detects your architecture (x64 or ARM64)
Downloads the latest release
Installs to ~/.local/bin/
Creates desktop entry (shows in applications menu)
Enables autostart on login

Install options:

# Install without autostart
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/utajum/claude-usage/master/scripts/install-linux.sh | bash -s -- --no-autostart

# Install without desktop entry
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/utajum/claude-usage/master/scripts/install-linux.sh | bash -s -- --no-desktop

# Uninstall
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/utajum/claude-usage/master/scripts/install-linux.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall

Manual download:

# x64
curl -sL https://github.com/utajum/claude-usage/releases/latest/download/claude-usage-linux-amd64 -o claude-usage

# ARM64
curl -sL https://github.com/utajum/claude-usage/releases/latest/download/claude-usage-linux-arm64 -o claude-usage

chmod +x claude-usage
./claude-usage

Build from source:

git clone https://github.com/utajum/claude-usage
cd claude-usage
make install-linux    # Full install with desktop integration
# or
make install          # Binary only

OpenCode Support:

Claude Usage also supports OpenCode credentials on Linux:

Right-click the tray icon and click "Source: Claude Code" to toggle to OpenCode
Credentials are read from ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json
The app auto-detects available sources on first run
If only OpenCode credentials exist, it will be used by default

`░▒▓█ 0x04 :: DATA STREAM SOURCES █▓▒░`

> SCANNING LOCAL FILESYSTEM FOR CLAUDE CREDENTIALS...

The app reads your Claude Code credentials to fetch real-time rate limit data from the API:

OS	CREDENTIALS FILE
Linux	`~/.claude/.credentials.json`
macOS	`~/.claude/.credentials.json`
Windows	`C:\Users\<username>\.claude\.credentials.json`

> DATA FLOW:
  ├─ [1] Read OAuth token from .credentials.json
  ├─ [2] Call Anthropic API for real-time rate limits
  └─ [3] Display usage % and reset timers

> PREREQUISITES:
  ├─ [REQUIRED] Claude Code CLI installed and logged in
  └─ [REQUIRED] Valid credentials file with OAuth token

Note: The stats-cache.json file is only used as a fallback when API data is unavailable.
