clawdmeter is a new open source project that creates a desktop dashboard for monitoring claude code usage. it features a small display that shows token usage stats along with animations of the clawd sprite. the device connects via bluetooth and reads usage data from your claude code oauth token through an api call.
for indie developers, this tool can provide a playful way to track how much you are using claude code. instead of checking usage through terminal commands, you can glance at the dashboard for a quick overview. the project is designed to be customizable, allowing users to add their own features and animations.
the device requires a lithium-ion battery-powered display like the waveshare esp32-s3-touch-amoled-2.16. while it’s not essential for development, it adds a nostalgic touch to your workspace. you can build it yourself if you're interested in tinkering with hardware and software integration.
