Introduction

What is ccshare?

ccshare is a command-line tool for people sharing a single Claude subscription across a team or household.

Claude enforces usage limits on two windows:

• 5-hour rolling window — a short burst limit reset every 5 hours
• Weekly window — a broader cap that resets each week

Without coordination, one person can exhaust the 5-hour window for everyone else. ccshare makes that visible and manageable.

How it works

ccshare maintains a shared usage ledger (local or synced) and exposes a simple CLI to:

• Check how much quota remains in the current window
• See each member’s share of recent usage
• Get notified when it’s safe to use Claude again

Design philosophy

No servers required by default. No accounts. Just a file, a CLI, and a shared folder (or a git repo).
