A live overlay tells you the second Claude needs you. Guards catch runaway loops and leaked secrets before they cost you — all computed locally from your own history. No account. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Made for developers who live in Claude Code — catch runaway loops and leaked secrets, see where the money goes, and what the cache just saved you.
A floating overlay that lives above every app: working, running a tool, done, or needs you — with elapsed time. Running several sessions? It lists every one, most urgent first.
Dinoradar watches every session for the two ways Claude Code quietly hurts — a runaway loop burning tokens, or a secret slipping into context. Alerts are free; the full ledger, history and controls are Pro.
Claude sometimes gets stuck looping a tool call — burning money unattended, because the API has no per-session spending cap. Dinoradar spots it and pings you: "repeated npm test ×6 · $4.20 · check in?"
Claude reads your files and shells, so API keys can end up in a session transcript. Dinoradar scans the session for exposed API keys & secrets — 100% local, only a redacted fingerprint is ever stored.
A full Claude Code cost and token usage breakdown — by token type, model and project — plus your cache hit rate and what caching saved you, burn rate with a budget alert, and a running ledger of what the guards saved.
Spots the fixes you keep repeating and turns them into a CLAUDE.md rule in one click — plus a control panel for what Claude remembers about each project.

Claude Code has no built-in dashboard — the /usage command shows the current session in the terminal, and that is it. Dinoradar is a macOS menu-bar app that reads the same local session transcripts and shows usage, cost and history in a visual dashboard, with a live overlay for sessions in progress.
No. Everything is computed locally from the files Claude Code
already writes — no account, no cloud, so your usage, costs and
prompts never leave your Mac. Leak Radar's secret scanning is local
too: only a redacted fingerprint (e.g. AKIA…7Q4B)
is ever stored, never the real value. We collect only anonymous,
aggregate analytics (which screens get used), never your data.
No. Install and it just works — Dinoradar reads the Claude Code
data already on your Mac, with nothing to configure and no keys to
paste. It works with anything that writes to ~/.claude
— CLI, desktop app and IDE extensions — on any Claude subscription
or API billing.
Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription — for up to 3 Macs, with all 1.x updates included. There's nothing to cancel: it's yours to keep, and the Free tier never expires either. Retiring a Mac? Sign out in the app to free a slot.
