Three rings, one glance.
Outer ring: the week
How much of your weekly limit is used.
Middle ring: the session
How much of the current 5-hour session is used.
Centre: today
Today’s share of your daily budget, a slice of the week (15 % by default).
Claude and Codex, one icon.
Auto shows whichever limit changed last. The tinted background says which one it is.

Codex
Read with the ChatGPT app’s sign-in. No password of its own.
Codex Free
One ring: the 30-day window. Today’s budget is scaled to it.
It warns you before the limit does.
On pace
Today is at 37 % of its budget.
Near budget
From 90 % the number turns yellow, and you get one notification that day.
Over budget
Red shows only the overspend: a red 15 is 115 %.
Questions
What is the daily budget?
The part of your weekly limit you allow yourself per day: 15 % by default, from 5 to 50 % in Settings.
Why is the number red?
You are over today’s budget, and the centre shows by how much: a red 15 means 115 %.
How does it get my usage?
Claude: you sign in once in the browser, and the sign-in is kept in your Mac’s keychain. Codex: Watchdogo asks Codex on your Mac, with the ChatGPT app’s sign-in.
Which one does the icon show?
Auto, the default, shows the one whose limit changed last. Pick Claude or Codex at the top of the popover to keep one.
Does it run on older Macs?
Yes: macOS 12 Monterey or later, Apple silicon and Intel.
Is there a Windows version?
Not yet. Watchdogo is for macOS for now.
