See usage in a widget or from Shortcuts

On macOS, Pitboard’s widgets and the Shortcuts action Get Usage show usage without opening Pitboard. On Windows, Pitboard has neither. On KDE Plasma 6.4 or later, the Pitboard widget shows the accounts and their limits while Pitboard runs. To add a widget, Control-click the wallpaper, choose Edit Widgets, search for Pitboard, then click Account or Accounts. For Notification Center, click Edit Widgets at its foot instead. Account shows the account in use: to show another, Control-click the widget, choose to edit it, then choose the account.
The medium Accounts widget: work, of Claude Code, and main, of Codex, each with a bar and how much is used for its 5-hour and weekly limits, and a countdown to each reset
On macOS 26 and later, the control Account shows an account in Control Center or the menu bar. To add it, click Control Center in the menu bar, click Edit Controls, add Account, then choose the account. A widget shows what Pitboard last read, so its numbers move only while Pitboard runs. Widgets and controls says what each one shows. In Shortcuts, or in Spotlight on macOS 26 and later, run Get Usage. With no account chosen, it gives the accounts in use, a line each, such as work: 5-hour 42% used, Weekly 12%, and hands a shortcut each account’s details.

Read without asking, or ask again

To see the last numbers measured, without asking Anthropic or OpenAI, run pitboard status --offline. It renews no parked login, and each Claude Code or Codex account ends with a line such as measured 14:02, 3m ago · read without asking Anthropic. To ask Anthropic and OpenAI again, even about an account asked moments ago, run pitboard status --fresh, or choose Refresh in Pitboard’s menu (Command-R). On Windows, select Refresh in the Pitboard window, or press F5 there. On Linux, click Refresh in the Pitboard window’s header bar, or press Ctrl+R there. When Pitboard cannot get newer numbers, it shows the last ones with when and why, as in measured 14:02, 3m ago · Anthropic could not be reached. The app shows the reason under the account in the window. Usage shows old numbers says what to do.

Choose what the menu bar shows

On macOS, choose from the Menu Bar Shows pop-up menu in Settings > General to show the percentage alone or the icon alone. Settings lists each choice. On Windows, the icon has no such setting. Its lit row shrinks as one limit of the account in use fills, as Icon in the notification area says. On Linux, the tray icon has none either, and shows the same, as Tray icon says.
