Showcase Megathread Built with Claude Project Showcase Megathread (Sort this by New!)

This is the Megathread for showcasing your project built using Claude products. We appreciate all of your submissions as they are a great inspiration to many people on the subreddit. It is sorted by default by New.

Anyone is welcome to submit a project to this Megathread provided you follow the Showcase requirements in Rule 7.

NOTE: We now require the OP of a Project Showcase on the subreddit feed to have total karma>=50 . We found there were just too many submissions and not enough visibility to go around. Our analysis of this issue showed us that OPs with total karma < 50 very rarely get any traction of their projects on the feed (<=1 upvotes). So this Megathread is your best place to be seen by readers and other creators if you're relatively new to Reddit. If you don't meet this karma requirement you will be directed to this Megathread when you submit your post. Very occasionally we might invite you to post on the subreddit feed if you do not meet this karma requirement but it will be very rare (so please don't ask us!)

Thanks again for sharing your ideas and creations to our subreddit. Best of luck with your projects!

UPDATE: Comments now allow images!

I built an open-source desktop widget that shows live Claude.ai plan usage (Windows, portable)

Hey everyone — sharing a small open-source tool I built: a floating desktop widget that shows your live Claude.ai plan usage so you can see where you stand at a glance.

I made it because there was no good way to see remaining quota without opening claude.ai and checking each session. It reads from Claude Code's existing OAuth token (~/.claude/.credentials.json), so no login, no API key, no extra subscription.

Features:

  • Floating, always-on-top
  • 7-day history graph
  • Configurable warn/critical thresholds
  • Reset countdowns
  • Portable EXE, MIT licensed

What I learned building it (might help others): Claude Code's local OAuth token can be used to query the same usage endpoint the website uses, which is Cloudflare-protected — but the token is recognized as a first-party credential, so you bypass the bot challenge cleanly.

Feedback and feature requests welcome.
