What it does

Everything Claude's up to, in one quiet place.

No dashboards to host, no API keys, no cloud. Claudino reads what's already on your machine and shows it beautifully.

Usage & cost

Every token and dollar — by model, project, tool, branch and hour — parsed straight from your ~/.claude transcripts into a fast local database.

Realtime overlay

A floating HUD that pops the instant Claude needs you — a permission prompt, a question, or your turn — then tucks away while it's working. You never have to watch the terminal.

Menu-bar status

A single colored dot up top: working, running a tool, done, or needs-you. Glance without switching windows.

Rich charts

Daily spend, token mix, cumulative burn, activity-by-hour, top tools and MCP servers — crisp interactive charts you can actually read.

Local & private

Everything runs on your machine. No accounts, no sync, no telemetry. Your prompts and code never leave your Mac.

Live pricing

Model prices auto-sync from the public LiteLLM catalog and recompute your cost automatically — resolved per exact model id.

At a glance

Five states. One dot. Zero context-switching.

The same colored status reads in your menu bar and in the overlay — so you always know whose turn it is.
