clawdmeter, created by hermann haraldsson, is a physical desktop dashboard designed to help developers track their anthropic claude code utilization in real-time. the device, built using a waveshare esp32-s3-touch-amoled-2.16 board, connects to a laptop via bluetooth and pulls usage data by reading the claude code oauth token to parse api response headers. it features pixel-art animations of the clawd sprite that intensify based on activity, along with hardware buttons for voice mode and toggling coding modes. since launching on may 10, the open-source project has attracted 800 stars on github, highlighting a growing subculture of developers focused on 'tokenmaxxing' or tracking their ai consumption.
