Know before you hit your Claude, Codex, Grok, Cursor, Devin, or Droid (Factory AI) limit. CUStats Go's pace metric predicts your weekly usage at reset, so you can ease off before the cutoff — not after. Privacy-first by design: your usage data stays on your device, your account credentials are stored only in the iOS Keychain, and there are no ads and no behavioral tracking. Track each provider's billing windows, monitor model-specific consumption, and stay informed with smart notifications and multi-account management. Grok uses the Weekly or Monthly window xAI reports; Cursor maps plan usage to the billing cycle and on-demand to Extra Usage when enabled; Devin covers both the app.devin.ai agent quota and the Devin IDE plan quota. Droid connects with a Factory API key and supports reported Standard/Core five-hour, weekly and monthly windows for token-rate-limit billing only. Legacy billing and Droid history charts are not supported. Droid widgets show available Standard five-hour/weekly windows; Core and monthly windows are shown in the app. Key highlights: - Home screen widgets in three sizes: small, medium, and large multi-account dashboard (widgets require iOS 17 or later). - Widgets update automatically in the background — no need to open the app. - Widgets omit usage windows a provider does not report instead of showing a misleading 0%. - Multi-account widget shows all connected accounts (up to 5) with per-account usage, pace, and reset times. - Real-time monitoring of Claude, Codex, Grok, Cursor, Devin, and Droid (Factory AI) with live progress bars. - Pace Metric predicts your weekly usage at reset time. Know before you hit the limit. - Promotion awareness: see when 2× usage windows are active with visual indicators. - 7-day trend charts for supported providers, with session-level detail, prediction lines, and weekly reset indicators. Droid history charts are unavailable. - Unified live session view with hero header and inline cumulative and peak charts. - Color-coded statuses (Good, Caution, Critical, At Limit) clarify when to pause usage. - Pace status indicators: Healthy (under 90%), Risky (90-100%), Over (above 100%). - Smart notifications for configurable thresholds, reset alerts, weekly unused-usage reminders, and service status changes — including when Claude or Codex recovers; iOS checks Claude thresholds in the background (Focus-friendly). - Extra usage (overage) credit tracking for paid plans. - Built-in multi-account flow with numbered credential how-tos and secure Keychain storage. - Width-adaptive iPad navigation (side rail at 600pt+), plus iPhone portrait and landscape. - Local-first privacy: no ads, no behavioral tracking, no cloud syncing. Your usage data stays on-device, and credentials are kept in the iOS Keychain. Perfect for developers, researchers, and busy professionals who rely on Claude, Codex, Grok, Cursor, Devin, or Droid (Factory AI) and need portable visibility.

LimitWatch is the mobile companion for developers who use AI coding tools. It bridges your Mac-based AI workflows — Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, and more — to your iPhone, Apple Watch, and Dynamic Island in real time. KEY FEATURES • Live Activity & Dynamic Island — See your AI session status at a glance: active tool, token usage, approval requests, and session progress. • Push Notifications — Get notified when sessions complete, tools need approval, errors occur, or quotas run low. Never miss an important event. • Multi-Source Monitoring — Track multiple AI tools simultaneously. See which sessions are active, waiting, or completed across all your coding agents. • Approval Flow — Approve or deny tool execution requests directly from your iPhone or Apple Watch. No need to switch back to your Mac. • Quota & Usage Tracking — Monitor your API usage, spending, and remaining quotas across providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google. • Widget & Watch Support — Home Screen widgets and Apple Watch complications keep your AI usage visible without opening the app. • Session Archive — Browse past sessions, review transcripts, and export session data for analysis. • Privacy First — Your canonical AI usage and session data stays on your devices and syncs through Apple iCloud/CloudKit under your own Apple Account. Purpose-separated minimal backends handle only subscription validation and push delivery (device tokens, preferred push locale, pseudonymous account/pairing identifiers, and subscription identifiers/status). Compact notification text required for delivery is processed transiently and is never stored by our push backend. See our privacy policy for full details. LimitWatch works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Droid (Factory), OpenCode, and more. The Mac companion app (free) installs lightweight hooks into your AI tools, syncs canonical data through iCloud, and delivers compact realtime alerts through APNs. Free tier includes basic monitoring for one source. Upgrade to Lite for the full mobile experience, or Pro for unlimited sources, session archive, automation, and export tools.
