Parroo shows your Claude Code usage and reset times in the menu bar. That is all it does. There is no Parroo server, no analytics and no account.
What it reads
Parroo reads the token Claude Code saved in your keychain, to ask for your usage. It never refreshes that token. For open conversations it reads the markers Claude Code keeps in ~/.claude/sessions and the transcripts in ~/.claude/projects, and takes only each conversation's title, the start of its first prompt, and its token counts. Nothing else from your conversations is used.
The only destination is Anthropic
Usage is fetched from the same Anthropic endpoint Claude Code's /usage uses, every two minutes and when you open the menu. The request carries only your sign-in token. Your transcripts are never sent anywhere.
Update checks go to GitHub
Parroo checks for a new version once, at launch, and not again until the next launch. The check downloads one small file from GitHub Releases, so GitHub sees the same request — IP address included — as any other download.
No analytics
There is no crash reporting, no usage tracking, no device identifier and no third-party SDK in the app.
You can check all of this
Parroo is open source under the MIT License. Everything on this page can be checked against the source code. If something looks wrong, please open an issue.
Changes
If a future version handles data differently, this page will be updated before that version is released.
