The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About Saar

Saar is an AI usage coach for Claude.ai. It shows you exactly how much you are spending on tokens, how full your conversation context is, and when starting a fresh chat will give you sharper answers.

 What Saar shows you:
 - Real-time token count and cost for every message you send and every response you receive
 - Per-conversation health: healthy, degrading, or critical, based on how much context you have used relative to the model's effective recall window
 - Pre-submit estimate: see the token cost of your draft before you hit send, including images and PDF attachments
 - Weekly cap usage bar with a projected exhaustion date if you keep your current pace
 - For Pro and Enterprise users: month-end spend trajectory with confidence tiers and your top three conversations by cost.

 How it works:
 Saar runs entirely in your browser. It intercepts the live response stream from claude.ai, counts tokens locally using the official Claude tokenizer, and displays the results in a non-intrusive overlay and a Chrome side panel dashboard. Nothing is sent to any server we operate. There is no backend.

 Why I built it:
 Platforms that sell compute have no incentive to help you use less of it. Saar is the workflow layer that helps you notice when a conversation is rotting, when an attachment is going to cost more than you expect, and when you are about to blow through your weekly cap.

 Privacy:
 - All token counting happens in your browser
 - No conversation content, identifiers, or analytics are sent to any server we operate
 - The extension uses optional host permissions: nothing reads your claude.ai data until you explicitly click "Enable" - You can revoke access at any time from chrome://extensions
 - Full privacy policy: https://getsaar.com/privacy

 Permissions in plain language: 
 - Storage: persists your settings and conversation history locally on your device
 - Tabs: detects which claude.ai tab is active so the dashboard shows the right context
 - Scripting: injects the token counter into claude.ai when you grant access
 - Alarms: cleans up stale per-tab data
 - Unlimited storage: allows conversation history to grow past Chrome's default cap
 - Side panel: opens the dashboard in Chrome's side panel 
 - Optional access to https://claude.ai: granted only when you click "Enable"
