Description
Hotfix build with stable tracking and no browser hang. Claude Control helps you monitor visible usage in Claude chats so you can avoid heavy conversations and stay in control of your workflow. Latest Updates: Claude Control v2.0.1 — Smarter Usage Tracking & Session Intelligence This is a major upgrade from simple usage estimation to a smarter, more realistic session tracking system. NEW: Session Risk Engine Claude Control now goes beyond visible text and introduces a session risk model that better reflects how Claude usage actually behaves. • Tracks conversation length and follow-up depth • Detects long-running chats that increase hidden usage cost • Recommends when to start a new chat for better performance NEW: Model-Aware Usage Different Claude models behave differently. Claude Control now adjusts usage estimation based on model selection. • Haiku → lower usage weight • Sonnet → balanced usage • Opus → higher usage weight NEW: Clicked Interaction Tracking Claude Control now detects non-typing interactions: • “Yes”, “Continue”, “Retry”, and other quick actions • Suggested responses and button-based interactions These are now included in your session estimate. NEW: Attachment Detection Uploads are now detected and flagged. • Files and attachments increase session complexity • Claude Control shows a warning when attachments are present Note: attachment size is estimated, not exact. NEW: Live DOM Tracking (Improved Accuracy) Claude Control now watches for real-time conversation updates: • New messages detected automatically • Updates even when you don’t type • More accurate session growth tracking NEW: Conversation Health Indicators Your session is now categorized into: • Healthy • Growing • Heavy With smarter recommendations based on session behavior. NEW: Start / Reset Tracking System You can now define your session baseline: • Start tracking at any point • Reset after hitting limits or starting a new chat • More control over your workflow NEW: Draggable & Persistent UI • Move Claude Control anywhere on screen • Position is saved automatically • Expand/collapse view for minimal or full detail NEW: Claude Plan Selector Customize tracking based on your plan: • Free • Pro • Custom limit Helps align estimates with your expected usage range. IMPORTANT: Claude Control estimates visible usage and session behavior only. It does not display official Anthropic token counts or billing data. WHY THIS MATTERS: Claude usage isn’t only about text length. It is influenced by: • conversation length • follow-up depth • attachments • model choice • interaction patterns Claude Control now reflects these factors to give you better awareness and control. COMING NEXT: We are continuing to improve accuracy, session modeling, and intelligent usage guidance.
