Desktop App

Your limits,
always in the menu bar.

Clautics Desktop is a tray app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. See your session %, weekly cap, and reset countdowns without opening a browser tab — free to download, unlocks with the same Pro key as the extension.

First launch on macOS: since this build isn't code-signed yet, macOS will warn that it's from an unidentified developer. Right-click the app → Open (instead of double-clicking), then confirm in the dialog. You only need to do this once.

Free vs Pro

Same unlock, same key.

Is the desktop app free to download? +
The download is free, but unlike the extension there's no free tier inside the app — everything is locked until you activate a license key. Enter your $3.99 Lemon Squeezy key in Settings to unlock session tracking, weekly caps, activity history, export, and custom alerts all at once.
Can I use the same license key as the extension? +
Yes — one $3.99 key unlocks Pro in both the extension and the desktop app. Open Settings in the tray popup, paste your key, and hit Activate.
Does the desktop app track my daily message count on its own? +
Session and weekly usage limits are fully live and accurate on their own. Daily message counts and the activity heatmap currently sync from the Chrome extension if you have it installed — the desktop app alone can't see message counts, since it doesn't have a Claude chat tab to watch.
Do I need to sign in again? +
Yes, once. Right-click the tray icon → "Sign in to Claude.ai…" and log in in the window that opens. It's a separate, isolated session from your regular browser.

Get it in your menu bar.

Free download. Pro unlocks everything, same as the extension.
