## What is Usage Meter for OpenRouter?

Usage Meter for OpenRouter turns your API spend into a calm, instant glance.

If you build with AI, you know the feeling: Did an agent loop run away? Which model ate the budget? Am I about to hit zero in the middle of a build?

Instead of opening a mobile browser, logging in, and digging through billing tables, Usage Meter for OpenRouter answers “What have I spent?” before you even unlock your phone.

ONE GLANCE, ZERO FRICTION
• Remaining Balance — see your exact available credits down to the cent
• Today & 7-Day Spend — clear totals calibrated to OpenRouter’s billing cycle
• Daily Trend Chart — a clean 7-day bar breakdown of your burn rate
• Top Cost Drivers — your 3 most expensive models, so there are no surprises

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
• Small Widget — remaining credits, today’s burn, and fresh update timestamp
• Medium Widget — balance, today’s spend, 7-day total, and the week’s daily chart
• Glanceable & Compact — designed to fit seamlessly right next to your daily apps

NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING.
Usage Meter for OpenRouter is a $0.99 one-time purchase.
There are no recurring fees, no in-app purchases, no user accounts to create, and no telemetry SDKs. An interactive Demo Mode lets you explore the entire interface  
before connecting your own key.

HOW IT CONNECTS TO OPENROUTER
OpenRouter (openrouter.ai) is a popular unified interface for LLMs and AI models. Usage Meter for OpenRouter is an independent companion client designed for developers and    
creators who hold an OpenRouter account.

Here is how it works under the hood:
1. You provide a read-enabled OpenRouter Management Key (sk-or-v1-...).
2. Your key is stored exclusively inside the encrypted iOS Keychain on your device. It never leaves your phone and is never stored in iCloud, App Group shared       
storage, or logs.
3. Requests travel directly from your iPhone to OpenRouter’s official endpoints (https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/credits and analytics APIs).
4. No Carmel App Studio server, intermediary proxy, or analytics server sits in the middle. Your key and usage data remain strictly between your device and          
OpenRouter.

REQUIREMENTS & DISCLAIMER
• Requires an active OpenRouter account and an OpenRouter Management Key with read permissions.
• Spend metrics reflect OpenRouter’s official UTC billing days.
• Usage Meter for OpenRouter is an independent utility created by Carmel App Studio. It is not affiliated with, maintained by, or endorsed by OpenRouter Inc. “OpenRouter” is a
trademark of its respective owner.
