Connect Claude

Docs · Updated

Your Claude plan's limits: the 5-hour session and the week, with when each starts over. Its card adds your plan, its last and next charge, and whether extra usage is on.

Tiles: Claude Usage, Claude Plan Usage - in the widget picker under AI.

Before you start

  • A Claude Pro or Max plan, and Claude Code on this PC.

Steps

  1. Install Claude Code. In PowerShell: irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex
  2. Run claude in a terminal and sign in with your Claude account.
  3. In lumabar, right-click the dock, choose Widgets…, open AI and click Claude Usage or Claude Plan Usage to add it.
  4. Click the new tile on the dock. Its card opens.
  5. Press Check again. The tile fills in as soon as it finds the sign-in.

Good to know

  • lumabar reads the sign-in Claude Code made. It never signs in by itself and never changes Claude Code's files.
  • Not signed in, but Claude Code has been used here? The tile still counts the tokens from Claude Code's own logs.
  • Charge dates marked ≈ are worked out from the day you subscribed - Claude does not share them.

If it doesn't connect

The card says what went wrong, in words like these:

“The tile stays locked”

Run claude and sign in, then press Check again on the tile's card.

Privacy

lumabar stores nothing for Claude: it reads the sign-in that Claude's own tool saved on this PC, sends it only to Claude, and never changes it. To disconnect, sign out in that tool.
