Once setup is complete, you can delete the downloaded installation copy. vibeUsage's manual and automatic refresh will use the installed Helper.
Your existing sign-in stays with Claude
You do not need to copy a password, token or API key into the Helper. It uses Claude Code's existing sign-in to refresh your quota and does not submit a chat prompt.
Turn off or remove the Helper
To return to cached readings, turn off active refresh in the Claude account's settings in vibeUsage. To remove the Helper from this Mac, open the downloaded Helper, switch back to its window and choose Uninstall helper. Your Claude Code sign-in and configuration stay in place.
