clawd-meter 🦀 — a tiny pixel-art desk buddy for your Claude usage

This is the printable case for clawd-meter: a little desk companion built on a cheap (~10 €) ESP32 colour touchscreen (the "Cheap Yellow Display" / ESP32-2432S028R). 

It shows your Claude AI usage at a glance — and gives it a face: Clawd, an animated mascot whose eyes react to how much of your quota is left. 

• 5-hour & weekly windows, 

• reset countdowns, 

• a clock, weather, 

• and a fully animated mascot screen — all configurable from a little web page on the device.

This model is a two-part snap-fit shell (front + back lid) sized for the CYD board, with cutouts for the USB ports and the display window.

🛠️ Everything you need to build it — firmware, a one-click browser flasher (no software to install), and a step-by-step beginner guide — is on GitHub:
👉 https://github.com/monsierfux/clawd-meter

The whole build takes about 15 minutes and needs no soldering. Print the case, flash the ready-made firmware from your browser, paste in one value from your Claude account, and you're done. 🎉
