Less checking. More building. Codex Tracker brings your coding agents' usage, limit resets, predictions, and service status together in one place, with push alerts when something changes—so you can keep your attention on turning ideas into working software. ===Know what you have left=== Connect your Codex account to see how much of your 5-hour and weekly limits remains, when each one resets, and how many resets you have available. Link more Codex accounts and other AI services, including Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Grok, Kimi, MiniMax, Z.ai, DeepSeek, and OpenRouter, then swipe between them on the home screen. Your credentials stay on your device. ===Get back to building=== Get notified when a new reset is tracked. Pick up that unfinished feature, revisit a bug, or start your next experiment without repeatedly checking announcements. ===Never get cut off mid-task=== Usage reminders give you a heads-up before a limit resets, right when it does, and when you're about to run out. Choose the levels that matter for each account. ===Know when it's not you=== Follow the public status of every AI service you use. See which products an incident affects, with translated details and recent history, and get alerted for the services that match your accounts. ===Plan your next coding session=== Follow the latest reset predictions to plan your next stretch of focused development. Line up your tasks, prepare your prompts, and get ready for another round of building. ===Your workflow, your notifications=== Choose alerts for new resets, predictions, incidents, or any mix. Filter reset notifications by regular resets, banked resets, or both. Keep the updates that matter to you and leave the rest off. ===See the bigger picture=== Read reset announcements in your preferred language, with the original text one tap away. Explore the reset calendar and statistics, including total tracked resets, average reset intervals, and the longest wait. ===Codex Tracker Pro=== Track as many accounts as you link, see your usage history with a forecast for every limit, and add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that show resets and every account's usage at a glance. From your first prototype to your next release, let Codex Tracker keep you posted. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
