In short
UsagePeek shows your usage next to the clock with the browser closed, and reopens your Claude Code projects the moment a limit resets.
That is how the Claude Monitor extension describes it to Windows users. The extension reads your Claude limits while Chrome, Firefox or Edge is open; UsagePeek AI keeps them in the system tray when no browser is. It is sold separately on the Microsoft Store, and its own site is usagepeek.com.
What it does
Per its Microsoft Store listing, UsagePeek AI offers:
- Live session, weekly and per-model usage next to the clock.
- A color-coded tray icon with a reset countdown.
- A draggable, always-on-top floating widget.
- Desktop alerts at 80% and 95%.
- Resume Claude Code in the Claude app or terminal on reset.
- Four layouts, six themes and ten interface languages.
- Local-only, zero telemetry.
The listing names session, weekly and per-model usage. What each of them is, and when it resets, is in our guide to Claude usage limits.
Auto-resume for Claude Code
Per the listing, UsagePeek AI can resume Claude Code in the Claude app or in the terminal when your five-hour session limit resets. This needs the Claude Code CLI installed on the same PC.
On Pro and Max plans, Claude Code draws from the same five-hour session and weekly limits as claude.ai, per Anthropic's help center, so the countdown next to the clock is the one that matters for the terminal too. More on that in Claude Code usage limits.

How it relates to the extension
Same maker, two separate products. The Claude Monitor extension is free, open source and stays that way; UsagePeek AI is a paid Windows app with its own purchase on the Microsoft Store. You can use both: the extension in the browser toolbar while you browse, the app in the tray when no browser is open.
