Reads the limits of the tools you already use

How it works

A glance tells you how much is left.

It finds your tools on its own. Only the ones you are signed in to on this PC appear, and there is nothing you have to set up.

  1. 01

    At rest

    A slim pill with one ring per tool, showing its main limit. Rings go green, yellow, orange, then red as you use more, and pulse above 90%.

  2. 02

    On hover

    It opens to every limit window with a percentage. Hover a ring for bars, how much is left, and when it resets.

  3. 03

    Drag it

    Move it along an edge or onto the left, top or right one. On top it becomes a row of rings. It remembers where you left it.

  4. 04

    Click to refresh

    Numbers also refresh in the background and after your PC wakes from sleep.

  5. 05

    Settings

    Show, hide and reorder tools, connect one that is not signed in, pick the edge, and resize the pill from 70% to 160%.

  6. 06

    Nothing extra to install

    It uses PowerShell, WPF and the .NET Framework that ship with Windows.

Download UsageMeter.zip ↓
  1. 01

    Download

    Get UsageMeter.zip. It is small: the app is a single script.

  2. 02

    Unzip

    Put the folder somewhere it can stay. The app runs from that folder.

  3. 03

    Run Install.cmd

    Double-click it. It builds the app, adds Desktop and Start menu shortcuts, starts the pill, and opens it whenever you sign in or unlock your PC. Windows may ask you to confirm first.

Or with Git

git clone https://github.com/aswin-dg/usage-meter-for-windows.git
cd usage-meter-for-windows
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1

Privacy

Your logins stay yours. Tokens are read from your own profile folder and sent only to each tool's own service. Usage Meter never stores them, and it has no server of its own.

Read the details in the README, or read the source: it is one PowerShell file.
