FAQ

Is it safe to give Usagebar Keychain access?

Yes. macOS shows that prompt so Usagebar can read the Claude Code credentials already on your Mac — nothing new is entered or uploaded. Your tokens never leave your machine except to call Anthropic's usage API directly. Usagebar doesn't store your password, doesn't sync credentials to any server, and doesn't read anything beyond what it needs to show your limits.

How do I connect my Claude credentials?

Usagebar picks them up automatically — no manual sign-in. Install Claude Code, run claude in your terminal and log in once. Usagebar detects your plan and usage from there.

I keep getting Keychain access prompts

Click "Always Allow" when macOS asks. If you chose "Allow" instead, open Keychain Access, find "Claude Code-credentials", and add Usagebar under Access Control.

It shows "Unknown" instead of Pro/Max, or 0% usage

Usagebar reads credentials from Claude Code (the CLI). You need Claude Code installed and logged in. If you only use claude.ai or the desktop app, install Claude Code and run claude in your terminal once.

Usagebar is running but I can't see it in my menu bar

Your menu bar is probably full and macOS is hiding it. Close a few other menu bar apps, then relaunch Usagebar. Activity Monitor can confirm it's running.
