Rewrite in Go: static binaries, zero runtime dependencies
Replace Node.js + Python codebase with three Go binaries:
- claude-statusline: CLI status bar for Claude Code
- claude-fetcher: standalone cron job for API usage
- claude-widget: system tray icon (fyne-io/systray + fogleman/gg)

All CGO-free for trivial cross-compilation. Add nfpm .deb packaging
with autostart and cron. CI pipeline produces Linux + Windows binaries,
.deb, .tar.gz, and .zip release assets.

0.3.0 — 2026-02-26

Full rewrite from Node.js + Python to Go. Each platform gets a single static binary — no runtime dependencies.

Changed

  • Complete Go rewrite — replaced Node.js statusline/fetcher and Python widget with three Go binaries
  • Zero dependencies — no Node.js, Python, pip, pystray, or system packages needed
  • Native packaging.deb for Debian/Ubuntu, .zip with static binaries for Windows, .tar.gz for Linux
  • CI/CD — pipeline now cross-compiles Linux + Windows binaries and builds .deb via nfpm

Added

  • claude-widget — system tray icon (fyne-io/systray) with built-in fetcher and icon renderer (fogleman/gg)
  • claude-statusline — CLI one-liner for Claude Code status bar (reads stdin + cache)
  • claude-fetcher — standalone cron job (reads session key, fetches usage, writes cache)
  • .deb package with autostart .desktop file and cron.d entry
  • Windows cross-compilation with -H=windowsgui for console-free widget

Removed

  • statusline.js, fetch-usage.js (replaced by Go binaries)
  • claude_usage_widget/ Python package (replaced by Go binary)
  • install_wizard.py, install.sh, install.ps1 (replaced by .deb and .zip)
  • package.json, requirements.txt (no runtime dependencies)

0.2.0 — 2026-02-26

First tagged release. Includes the CLI statusline, standalone usage fetcher, cross-platform desktop widget, and installer wizard.

Added

  • CLI Statusline — headless status bar for Claude Code showing context window and token usage as text progress bars
  • Usage Fetcher — standalone Node.js cron job that fetches token usage from the Claude API and writes a shared JSON cache
  • Desktop Widget — cross-platform system tray icon (pystray) with circular progress bar, Claude starburst logo, and color-coded usage severity
  • Installer Wizard — interactive Python installer (install_wizard.py) with platform detection, component selection, cron/autostart setup, and session key configuration
  • Windows support — PowerShell installer wrapper (install.ps1) and Windows-compatible paths
  • Session expiry warning — statusline shows a warning when the session key is about to expire

Fixed

  • CRLF line ending issues on cross-platform installs
  • Tray icon visibility — switched to Claude orange with full opacity at larger size
  • Block comment syntax error in cron example
