Tokenmaxxing helps AI builders and people who use AI agents for work stop wasting paid credits, tokens, API spend, and usage windows. Use it as your command center for AI limits: see credits, reset windows, API spend, quota counters, alerts, widgets, and history before your next usage window closes. What you can track: • Paid credits, tokens, token costs, API spend, limits, and request windows • Reset alerts, threshold alerts, budget alerts, plan timers, and reminders • iPhone and iPad widgets, plus Mac menu bar summaries for quick checks • Usage history, used capacity, unused capacity, and reset-cycle patterns • Current-month and last-month API usage ranges where supported Why it helps: • Know when a reset is coming before capacity disappears • Avoid surprise blockers during a build or work session • Turn leftover capacity into shipped work • Decide what to use now, what to save, and when to return • Check usage without opening every provider dashboard Private by design: • Credentials stay in Apple Keychain • App data uses Apple-native storage • iCloud or CloudKit sync is used where available • Widgets and platform surfaces read redacted summaries where available Supported connections: Base44, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, ChatGPT Work, Lovable, Vercel v0, OpenAI API, and Claude/Anthropic API. Connect accounts and API keys you already own.

Tokenmaxxing is not a chatbot and does not sell model access. It is an independent usage command center for the AI tools and developer capacity you already pay for.
