## How It Works

The tool:
1. Reads session data from `~/.claude/projects` directory
2. Fetches usage statistics using the ccusage CLI
3. Calculates estimated token usage based on message content
4. Displays a responsive dashboard that adapts to terminal size
5. Updates in the background every 60 seconds

## Development

```bash
git clone https://github.com/agudulin/claude-usage-monitor.git
cd claude-usage-monitor

npm install
npm run dev
```
