Claude's monthly recap and /checkup — screen time for Claude

At 1:01:20 · chapter starts 58:30

The episode's final segment delivers what Rik calls the most practically useful news of the week: Anthropic launched a monthly Claude usage recap showing when you engage most and what you work on, plus quiet-hour settings and break nudges. The /checkup command, surfaced by Cloud Code Guy Boris, cleans up unused MCPs and skills — the digital equivalent of clearing app clutter. Ben's reflection is the most honest moment of the episode: he's maxed his Claude credits, which is what finally drove him to download Codex. He went to the park. He saw a friend. He scheduled a doctor's appointment. All things he'd been putting off because Claude is always there. He describes the psychological loop: if you're not building, someone else is. That's what you tell yourself. Ben compares it to iPhone Screen Time — everyone said they needed it, and it barely changed behavior. This is Screen Time for Claude. Rik closes the episode with a plug to like and subscribe, and Luca signs off heading for a glass of wine in the garden.
