Show HN: Diet Cola themed Chrome Extension to track you Claude usage

Diet Claude, a Diet Cola-themed Chrome extension for tracking Claude AI usage, was posted to Hacker News on August 25, 2026, by developer raghavtoshniwal under the Show HN tag, per the HN listing.

The extension is available at dietclaude.com and appears aimed at users who want visibility into how much they're using Anthropic's Claude AI assistant directly from their browser. The Diet Cola branding is the project's distinguishing stylistic choice, leaning into a playful consumer aesthetic for what is otherwise a utility tool.

Beyond the HN post and the project's website, no additional details about the extension's specific features — such as which metrics it tracks, whether it supports multiple Claude tiers, or how data is stored — were available in the sources at time of writing. The HN submission had 1 point and no comments at the time of posting.

Usage tracking tools for AI assistants have become a small but active niche as models like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini impose rate limits or token caps on free and paid tiers. Browser extensions that surface consumption data locally fill a gap that the AI providers themselves have been slow to address with native tooling. Diet Claude appears to be a solo developer project rather than a venture-backed product, though the sources do not confirm the number of contributors or any funding.

No roadmap, pricing details, or expansion plans were included in the HN post or the project's web presence as captured in the available sources.
