Usage from Claude desktop "Projects" is not counted (no local logs) #439

Summary

Usage from the Claude desktop app's new Projects feature is not counted in today's tokens, cost, or companion growth. The official 5-hour / weekly limit % does reflect it, so the menu bar shows limits going up while today's tokens stay flat.

Environment

• PokeTokenBar: latest release (Homebrew cask)
• macOS 27 (Darwin 27.0.0)
• Claude desktop app with Claude Code 2.1.295

Steps to reproduce

1. Send a message in a Project in the Claude desktop app.
2. Refresh PokeTokenBar.
3. Today's tokens do not change. The 5-hour / weekly limit % does go up.

What I checked

Right after sending a Project message, I listed every file under ~ modified in the last ~10 minutes:

• The only new Claude .jsonl was a Claude Code (Code tab) session under ~/.claude/projects/, which PokeTokenBar already reads.
• On the Projects side, only the embedded claude.ai web view's storage changed (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/IndexedDB/https_claude.ai_0.indexeddb.leveldb, Local Storage, Cookies). None of these is a usage log.
• Nothing new under claude-code-sessions/ or local-agent-mode-sessions/ contained a .claude/projects transcript.
• ~/Library/Logs/Claude/main.log showed no local session for the Project message.

So Project conversations seem to run server-side and leave no local transcript. Adding a folder in Settings → Advanced → Additional scan folders cannot fix this.

Suggestions

1. Docs / UI note (minimal): Say in the README and next to the Claude usage section that claude.ai chats and Projects (including those inside the desktop app) are not included in token counts, only in the official limits.
2. Server-side usage (if possible): When a claude.ai session key is set, check whether claude.ai exposes per-conversation or daily usage that could be added as a separate "claude.ai" source.
3. Fallback for growth (optional): Give the companion some growth based on official limit % increases that local logs don't explain, so Projects-heavy users still progress.

Thanks for the great app!
