Recall

Recall is a Chrome extension for Claude.ai that tracks context usage, quota limits, and truncation risk in real time to help you summarize or restart chats before replies degrade.

Recall

Overview

Recall is a Chrome extension for Claude.ai that monitors context window health and usage limits while you chat. It is designed to show how much of your current conversation budget remains, when limits reset, and when a thread is getting close to the point where responses may shorten or truncate.

The extension focuses on practical warning signs rather than after-the-fact reporting. It tracks live usage, estimates context fill, flags prompts that may be too large, and suggests when to summarize or start a fresh chat. The product page says it supports Claude Free, Pro, Max 5x, Max 20x, Team, and Enterprise, and that it runs locally in the browser without servers or accounts.

Features

Live usage tracking

Tracks Claude usage in real time, including the 5-hour usage window, weekly limits, remaining budget, and reset times.

Context window monitoring

Estimates how full the current conversation is so you can tell when context is getting close to the limit before response quality drops.

Truncation risk warnings

Warns before large prompts are sent when the request is likely to produce a truncated response.

Per-turn token insights

Shows per-turn token information such as input tokens, output tokens, conversation growth, and estimated quota impact.

Smart hand-off guidance

Suggests when to summarize and move to a new chat as a conversation approaches the context limit.

Output size prediction

Predicts whether a prompt is likely to generate a Small, Medium, Large, or XL response based on usage patterns and conversation state.

Use Cases

  • Long chat sessions

    Keep an eye on session and weekly limits while working in a long Claude thread so you can avoid hitting a warning or cutoff mid-task.

  • Large prompt planning

    Check whether a prompt is likely to trigger a short or truncated response before sending it, especially when the request is large or complex.

  • Usage analysis

    Watch how attachments, tools, models, and projects affect usage so you can understand what is consuming quota inside a conversation.

  • Context hand-offs

    Decide when to summarize the thread and continue in a new chat as the conversation gets close to the context limit.

  • Privacy-conscious monitoring

    Use the local browser-based tracker in environments where keeping processing on-device matters more than sending chat data to a separate service.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Shows live Claude usage, reset times, and remaining budget in one place.
  • Covers both context length and quota risk, which helps users catch issues before responses degrade.
  • Provides prompt-level warnings before sending large or expensive requests.
  • Runs locally in the browser, with the page stating no servers, no account, and no tracking.
  • Includes support for Claude Projects and multiple Claude plan tiers.

Cons

  • The page does not provide setup steps or show how the extension appears inside Claude.
  • Pricing is not listed on the source page, so the public cost is unclear from the evidence available.
  • The page is centered on Claude.ai, so support for other AI apps is not documented.
