BarPeek Mobile is a native iPhone companion for a CodexBar server you run on your Mac. Connect to your server, then check AI provider quotas, reset times, credits, token activity, and reported costs wherever your network setup allows. SEE YOUR LIMITS AT A GLANCE • Review session, weekly, and other quota windows reported by your configured providers • See clear usage percentages and reset times • Monitor multiple providers from one focused dashboard • Pull to refresh or update automatically when you return to the app UNDERSTAND COST AND TOKEN ACTIVITY • Review available costs for today, the current session, and the last 30 days • See input, output, cache-read, and cache-creation token totals when reported • Browse recent daily activity when available • View remaining provider credits when supplied by your server CHECK USAGE FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN Add a configurable small or medium widget, choose which providers appear, and tap a provider to open its details in BarPeek Mobile. Widgets show the latest usage snapshot saved by the app. BUILT FOR YOUR SERVER Configure one reachable CodexBar server and use either the Direct API or an HTTPS Dashboard Snapshot endpoint. When used, bearer tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain. Your AI provider credentials remain in your Mac-side CodexBar setup and are not entered into BarPeek Mobile. AVAILABLE WHEN YOUR SERVER ISN'T Usage and cost data are cached locally, so your latest saved information can remain visible if your server is temporarily unreachable. BarPeek Mobile clearly shows when the saved data was last refreshed. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 18 or later • CodexBar installed, configured, and running on a Mac • Network access from your iPhone to your CodexBar server BarPeek Mobile is a companion viewer. It does not provide AI service access or connect directly to provider accounts. Available quotas, credits, costs, and token details depend on the data returned by your CodexBar configuration.
