Bars puts every limit you pay for on one screen: your AI plans, your API and cloud bills, your phone's data plan and your proxy's monthly bandwidth. One bar each, filling left to right, so the one closest to its limit is obvious at a glance. AI, CLOUD, CELLULAR AND PROXIES IN ONE PLACE Claude's five-hour session and its weeklies. Codex's windows. Notion AI. The Claude API, Vertex AI, AWS, Google Cloud and Cloudflare against a budget you set. Your carrier's cellular data plan. Proxy subscription links and VPS bandwidth. Add as many accounts as you have. A PACE MARK ON EVERY BAR A percentage tells you where you are. It does not tell you whether that is fine. Every bar carries a mark showing where you would be if you spent evenly across the window. A bar 78% full with three days left reads instantly as trouble; the same bar with three hours left reads as a job well paced. BUILT LIKE PART OF iOS A Live Activity counts down to the reset on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Home Screen widgets come in small and medium, including one for this month's spend. Notifications arrive at the thresholds you choose, and when you start spending faster than the window allows. INSIGHTS AND RECEIPTS See what each day took from each limit and the pace of the window you are in, then print your month on a receipt you can share. YOUR CREDENTIALS STAY ON YOUR PHONE Bars signs you in the way the official tools do: the provider's own sign-in page, never a password box of ours. Tokens go into the iOS Keychain. There is no account to create, and your history syncs through your own private iCloud. FREE AND PRO Bars Free reads one account in full, with its pace mark and its notifications. Bars Pro reads every account and every limit, and adds the Live Activity, widgets, Insights and receipts. Pro is monthly, yearly with a free week to start, or once for life. Bars is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, Notion, Google, Amazon or Cloudflare. All product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Bars reads the same endpoints those services' own tools read, using credentials you provide, and any sample figures shown before you connect an account are clearly labelled as demo data.
