About Peras
Peras tracks usage for Claude Code and Codex agents, displaying weekly progress through a menu bar icon. It estimates remaining allowance based on configured reset schedules and allows setting weekly or daily limits. When usage approaches a defined threshold, Peras can issue warnings, pause agents until confirmation, or automatically block tool calls. The tool supports separate rules for different folders and projects, with allowances that reset at local midnight or weekly. A visual interface shows observed usage, gaps in tracking, and recent interventions. Peras operates locally without reading login files or tokens, relying on account-wide usage estimates. The CLI and hooks are free and open source, while a paid macOS app provides a menu bar interface and additional features.
