Questis turns Claude usage limits into draining potion flasks in your Mac menu bar
Appropriate-Wind-184 · reddit · 2026-09-12
Reddit user Appropriate-Wind-184 built Questis, a Mac menu bar app that shows Claude usage quotas and reset times without repeatedly opening the usage page.
Its signature full display renders the quota as little glass flasks that drain as usage accrues—"completely unnecessary, but my favourite part." It also tracks Codex and Grok usage, keeps a local usage logbook, sends alerts, and flags stale readings. Claude helped with the refresh logic, history handling, and staleness detection. It's a work-in-progress demo, with the author asking whether users want the flask display or just the menu bar.
