Read full description

Know what remains before an AI coding limit interrupts your work. AI Token Limits shows provider-returned usage windows, remaining percentages and reset times in one focused mobile dashboard. Connect in the system browser and check your limits directly on your phone, without a desktop companion or an AI-usage backend. Pro widgets put your latest usage and reset times on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Updates depend on iOS background refresh. USAGE AT A GLANCE ▸ See Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Muse and GitHub Copilot usage in one place ▸ View clearly labelled remaining percentages and exact reset times ▸ Refresh each provider independently ▸ See when each provider last updated successfully ▸ Track used-quota trends over 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days locally ▸ Choose remaining or used percentages and relative or exact reset times ▸ Disconnect a provider and remove its credentials locally COST AND USAGE VALUES ▸ Cursor: personal on-demand spend when returned ▸ Grok: on-demand spend and included usage value, shown separately ▸ GitHub Copilot: estimated AI-credit usage value from explicit credits Amounts retain the provider period when available. Included usage and credit values are not an invoice. Claude and Codex quota percentages alone cannot establish a monetary cost. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ▸ Browser sign-in opens in the system browser; the app never reads browser cookies ▸ Credentials are stored only on your device using Keychain protection ▸ Usage requests go directly from your device to the selected provider ▸ No Pocket Grove account, analytics, advertising or AI-usage backend Optional API-key connections are grouped separately with an explicit security explanation. AI Token Limits supports one personal account per provider. Availability depends on the account and usage information each provider makes available. AI Token Limits is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, Anysphere, xAI, GitHub or Meta.
