Track your AI service usage and stay within your limits. THE PROBLEM AI services have usage quotas. You lose track. Limits hit at the worst time. WHY CHECKING MANUALLY ISN'T ENOUGH Each service has its own settings page — but nobody opens five different apps to check usage one by one until it's too late. THE SOLUTION AIUsage tracks your AI service quotas — Claude, Cursor, Antigravity, and more. See exactly how much you've used, how much is left, and when it resets. Simple. Visual. No more surprise limits. Support: steve_ham@icloud.com

`CodingNS` 是一个面向开发者的 AI 编程工作台,用来把你已经在电脑上运行的 AI 编程会话继续带到手机上。 它不是一个只会聊天的壳,也不是把终端粗暴塞进手机页面的半成品。`CodingNS` 解决的是一个更实际的问题:当你离开桌面电脑之后,正在运行的 `Claude Code`、`Codex` 等 AI 编程会话不该被迫中断,你也不该从零重新建立上下文。 通过连接你自己的 `CodingNS Host`,你可以在 iPhone 上继续查看和处理同一条开发会话,读取实时消息,查看工作区文件和 Git 状态,处理权限申请,进入终端,必要时继续推动任务往前走。 核心能力包括: - 续接已经存在的 AI 编程会话,而不是重新开一个空白聊天 - 同步 `Claude Code`、`Codex` 等 CLI 会话消息和运行状态 - 在移动端查看工作区、文件、Git 变更和终端输出 - 在会话内处理命令执行、文件修改和用户输入等权限请求 - 在多设备之间保持统一的工作流,而不是各干各的 - 面向真实开发场景设计,优先保证效率、信息密度和可继续性 `CodingNS` 适合这些人: - 已经把 AI CLI 工具放进日常开发流程的开发者 - 经常需要在桌面和移动设备之间切换的个人开发者 - 需要远程确认任务进度、查看输出、处理权限请求的人 需要说明的是: - `CodingNS` 需要连接你自己的 `CodingNS Host` - 某些能力依赖你的 Host 环境里已经安装并配置好相应的 AI CLI 工具
