Release / 2026-06-30
ai-usagebar v0.8.0
See your Claude usage bars in the GNOME top panel or the macOS menu bar.
What changed in v0.8.0
New GNOME Shell extension (gnome-extension/) and native macOS menu bar app (macos/), both driving the ai-usagebar binary, with preferences and credential helpers. v0.7.2 stopped a false 0% on recent Claude Code builds that leave the refresh token empty. Groups v0.7.2 and v0.8.0.
v0.8.0; the GNOME extension and macOS app are installed from the repository folders.
New things you can do
macos/ menu bar agent with SwiftUI preferences and a LaunchAgent install helper.
Fixed and improved
No longer shows 0% with an HTTP 400 tooltip once the access token expires on Claude Code builds that store an empty refresh token.
Seeded by @iluxav with Claude Code (canido), from the release's public sources. Each change links to its evidence.
