Install AI Limit Coach for Chrome
Last checked: September 15, 2026.
It's live in the Chrome Web Store. One click, no account, free.
Prefer to read the code first?
Every file is public at github.com/zoerner6/ailimitcoach. You can load the same extension unpacked instead of using the store listing:
- Download the extension
- Unzip it somewhere you'll keep it. Chrome loads it from that folder every time it starts, so don't unzip it into Downloads and then clear them.
- Open
chrome://extensionsand turn on Developer mode, top right. - Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder.
- Open claude.ai. Your session and weekly usage appear in the corner and on the toolbar icon.
Only load unpacked extensions you trust. It asks for access to claude.ai and nothing else.
What it does once it's running
- Live meter. Session and weekly usage in a small corner pill and on the toolbar badge.
- Pace warnings. "On pace to hit your limit at 3:10, 40 minutes before it resets", based on how fast you're actually using it.
- Weekly budget. How much you can use each day and still reach the reset.
- Expensive-chat alerts. One click carries a summary into a fresh chat, so you stop paying for the whole thread on every reply.
- Reset notifications. At 75%, at 90%, and the moment you're back, even with claude.ai closed.

Questions people ask
Is AI Limit Coach free?
Yes. It's free in the Chrome Web Store, with no account and no ads.
Is loading an unpacked extension safe?
It runs the code you downloaded, so only do it with code you trust. Every file is public on GitHub and you can read it before installing. The extension only requests access to claude.ai, stores your usage figures in your own browser, and sends nothing anywhere.
What data does the extension collect?
None leaves your browser. It reads your own usage percentages from claude.ai and measures how long the open conversation is, never what it says. There is no account, no analytics and no ads. See the privacy policy.
Does it work in Edge, Brave or Firefox?
Edge and Brave use the same extension format, so the unpacked steps work there too. A Firefox build isn't ready yet.
