Context Panel companion lets you view AI usage limits synced from your Mac on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. It shows remaining capacity, provider/account status, reset timing, and stale or unavailable sync states from the same local-first Context Panel setup on your Mac. Use the companion app and widgets as glanceable surfaces while setup, diagnostics, provider credentials, and detailed history stay on the Mac app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Context Panel at none against PDF's 1. Context Panel also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). PDF's advantage is iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
