New HUD Monitors Live Claude AI Usage on Thermalright LCD
TL;DR. A developer created a custom desk HUD to display live Anthropic Claude AI usage, including token burn and limits, on a $38 Thermalright LCD. - The system streams usage data from macOS, interacting with Anthropic's API and Claude Code logs. - It shows session and weekly limits, token consumption, and estimated API costs in real-time. - The project utilizes a reverse-engineered display protocol, bypassing standard monitor interfaces for continuous updates.
- A custom HUD displays live Claude AI usage metrics on a Thermalright Trofeo Vision LCD.
- It tracks Anthropic Pro/Max session and weekly limits, token usage, and hypothetical API costs.
- The system runs on macOS, interfacing with Claude Code's local logs and Anthropic's API.
- The display is driven as a USB HID device using a reverse-engineered protocol for continuous updates.
