## What is Runlow?

Runlow shows how much of your AI usage you have left — at a glance, everywhere you look.

Track your own Claude, Codex (ChatGPT), Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and OpenRouter limits in one place, each as a clean, colour-coded meter that shades from green to red as it fills.

WHAT IT TRACKS
• Claude — your 5-hour session, weekly caps and per-model lanes, across multiple accounts
• Codex (ChatGPT) — your plan's limits
• Gemini — CLI quota
• Cursor — plan usage
• GitHub Copilot — premium request allowance
• OpenRouter — credit balance

LIVE ACTIVITIES & DYNAMIC ISLAND
Pin your usage to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island and see what's left without opening a thing. Choose which meter leads and which ones ride along.

WIDGETS
Add a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget and keep an eye on your limits from anywhere.

A DASHBOARD BUILT FOR FOCUS
• Full-screen mode turns your iPad or iPhone into an edge-to-edge wall of live meters — made for the desk while you build.
• Landscape tile view lays every limit out at once.
• Service status flags when a provider is having an outage.
• Notifications warn you before you hit a wall — and tell you the moment a limit resets.

MAKE IT YOURS
Pick your colours, your icon, which meters show, and how the numbers read (used or remaining). Light or dark, it always looks right.

ALSO ON MAC
Runlow lives in your Mac's menu bar too. The number sits next to the clock; click it and every provider's limits drop down. One purchase covers your iPhone, iPad and Mac.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Runlow has no account and no server. You sign in to your own provider account, and everything — your credentials and your usage — stays on your device. Nothing is ever sent to us. Want a look first? Turn on Demo Mode to explore with sample data.

Runlow is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cursor, GitHub or OpenRouter.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-08-21

Runlow just got a big, personal update.

MAKE IT YOURS
Give every account its own name, colour and icon. Tap an account right on the dashboard to rename it, recolour it with a full colour wheel, or drag it into the order you want - no trip to Settings. You can even choose your default account colour: blue, gray or white.

SYNCED ON EVERY DEVICE
Your names, colours and icons now follow you across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro with iCloud. Set them once, and they are waiting on every device.

ARRANGE EVERYTHING
A new Reorder mode lets you drag meters and whole accounts into exactly the order you want, then tap Group to line them back up by account anytime.

CLEANER HISTORY
Your usage history is sharper and easier to read, and anything you have hidden stays hidden - so you only ever see the meters that matter to you.

SMOOTH AND SOLID
Runlow now runs faster, lighter and rock solid - quietly keeping every limit in view, every single day.

I am an independent developer and I read every review. If Runlow is helping you, a quick rating genuinely makes my day - thank you.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-13

Fixes a bug in 1.5 where switching a meter off under Focus > Also show on Lock Screen also removed it from the Main focus list, so options like Session (5 hr) could disappear from the choices. Every meter is listed again, and picking one that was switched off now simply switches it back on.

The Focus menu also lists your accounts in the same order as the dashboard, so Account 1's meters come first.

Sorry to anyone this caught out.

### 1.5 — 2026-08-13

Widgets, rebuilt.

The widgets now look like the Live Activity — the same meters, the same colours, the same countdowns — instead of a stripped-back version of it.

WHAT'S NEW
• Every size: small, medium, large and extra large on the Home Screen, plus Lock Screen circular, inline and rectangular.
• Editable in place. Long-press a widget and tap Edit Widget to choose exactly which services it shows, which one is the main focus, and whether the footer appears — no need to open the app.
• The tiny Lock Screen widgets can now show a percentage, and that percentage follows the focus you set, so it always matches the limit you actually care about.
• The Focus button now has a clear "Main focus" heading, and the menu stays open while you switch between options instead of closing after every tap.

Also fixed: the options in the Focus menu no longer shift around as you select them.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-08

The feedback form now asks which device the issue is on and whether you are running a beta OS, so bug reports reach the developer with the details that matter.

New App Store screenshots showing the history graph, plus small fixes to how unreleased meters are kept out of the settings lists.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-08

The biggest Runlow update yet.

SETTINGS, REORGANISED
Six tidy categories instead of one long list, or flip a switch for the classic all in one view. A live status report at the top shows outages for every service you track, with a detail page and a link to each official status page.

YOUR LOCK SCREEN, YOUR WAY
New Live Activity layout options: show a bar on every meter, make the focus row larger or keep every row equal, and pick bigger or smaller text. The Live Activity now remembers being on, even after an update or restart.

KNOW WHAT YOU SPEND
Log payments for each AI service in History. Monthly subscriptions log themselves, even from a start date before you had the app. Payments appear on the usage graph, and everything exports as a CSV, handy for expenses and invoicing.

FOCUSED HISTORY
Tap any meter on the dashboard, or any tile in landscape, to open a history view for just that meter.

Plus a What's New tour, smarter handling of unreleased provider meters, and dozens of smaller fixes and refinements.
