A Claude Code Status Line That Tracks Your Real Time

When you run Claude Code in several terminals at once, “how long have I been working?” gets surprisingly hard to answer. Add up every session and you double-count; look at one and you miss the rest.

So I built a multi-line status bar for Claude Code that tracks the time you really spend, across every terminal and session:

  • Three kinds of time. Today merges overlapping sessions so they count once, Wall shows the span of your day, and Active shows time Claude was actually working.
  • The week at a glance, plus context-window use as a progress bar.
  • Your limits or your bill: subscribers see their 5-hour and 7-day rate limits with reset times; API users see today’s cost.

It installs in about two minutes: one script and one line in your Claude Code settings.
