GoKawiilA desk HUD that shows live Claude usage on a Thermalright Trofeo Vision 6.86" LCD (1280×480, USB-C, ~$38), driven from macOS. Inspired by the r/ClaudeAI "$38 Claude LCD Table Display" post.
What it shows: Pro/Max session + weekly limit bars with reset countdowns (from Anthropic's usage endpoint), today's tokens and hypothetical API cost (via ccusage), the live session (project, model, burn rate), a clock, and an hourly token sparkline.
Requirements
macOS, Python 3.12+, uv, Node (for npx ccusage )
) brew install hidapi (C library behind the hidapi Python package)
(C library behind the Python package) Claude Code installed and logged in (the HUD reads its local logs and its OAuth token from the Keychain — read-only, nothing leaves your machine except the usage query to api.anthropic.com)
Setup
uv sync uv run python -m claude_trofeo_hud preview # render mock layout to out/preview.png uv run python -m claude_trofeo_hud run # live HUD on the LCD (Ctrl-C stops) uv run python -m claude_trofeo_hud install-agent # start at login via launchd
On the first run , macOS asks for Keychain access to "Claude Code-credentials" — choose Always Allow so the daemon can run unattended.
uninstall-agent stops and removes the launchd agent. Config lives in config.toml (fps, JPEG quality, night dim/off hours). Logs go to ~/Library/Logs/claude-trofeo-hud/ .
