What is Diet Claude?
Diet Claude is a free Chrome extension that shows how much of your Claude session and weekly allowance you have used. A soda can drains as you chat and refills at reset, with alerts before you hit the wall. It also trims prompts, organizes chats, and hands long threads to other chatbots.
Top Features:
- Usage meter: tracks five hour session and weekly usage straight from the web app.
- Limit alerts: warns you at 70 and 90 percent and counts down to reset.
- Chat handoff: carries a summary of your conversation into ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok.
Use Cases:
- Long coding sessions: pace heavy work so you never lose momentum mid task.
- Prompt cleanup: tighten draft prompts before sending to save tokens and usage.
- Chat organization: sort up to 1,000 Claude conversations into tidy groups for later.
Who Can Use Diet Claude?
- Developers: keep coding and debugging sessions going without surprise rate limits.
