Connect your providers

Sign in to a supported provider CLI or app, or configure its credentials. Then check your first provider.

This example checks Claude. Replace claude with an installed provider ID.

Want the local dashboard and HTTP API?

Add the providers you want to poll to your UsageStat configuration:

TERMINAL
[[providers]]
id = "claude"
enabled = true

Start the daemon in a terminal and leave it running:

TERMINAL
usagestatd

Then open the dashboard from another terminal:

TERMINAL
usagestat dashboard

The dashboard opens at http://127.0.0.1:6736/dashboard.

03 OPTIONAL

Add Bar to your desktop.

Keep your usage in the Windows system tray. Bar uses the backend from step 1.

1. Get UsageStat Bar for Windows

Choose the Windows app and follow the steps included with the download.

Get Bar for Windows

2. Open Bar

Launch UsageStat Bar and open it from your system tray.

3. Make it yours

Open preferences to select your providers, usage windows, and appearance. Bar reads the UsageStat backend installed in step 1; set its CLI path in preferences if needed.

A note on compatibility. Bar requires a working backend and the dependencies for your selected integration. Check desktop support.
