OpenBurnBar keeps your AI agent burn rate and quota pressure visible across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Track Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Factory Droid, Kimi, and other coding agents from one calm dashboard. The Mac app reads local session logs and can sync selected usage and quota signals to your private cloud workspace so your mobile devices stay useful when you are away from the desk. KEY FEATURES AI SPEND AT A GLANCE See today's estimated spend, token volume, request count, and provider mix without opening billing dashboards. QUOTA VISIBILITY Surface Claude Code, Codex, OpenAI, and other provider quota signals in one place. OpenBurnBar separates local Mac-sourced signals from hosted quota checks so you know exactly where each number came from. REMOTE CODEX QUOTA REFRESH The optional Hosted Quota Sync subscription lets the mobile app request on-demand Codex quota refreshes through OpenBurnBar's cloud runner. Refreshes happen when you ask for them, not on a random background schedule. OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION OpenBurnBar Cloud Monthly is an optional auto-renewable subscription. Length: 1 month, auto-renews monthly. Price: shown in the purchase screen before confirmation and billed monthly by Apple. Each subscription period includes Hosted Codex quota refresh, Conversation Backup & Resume, Full Session-Log Sync, and Hermes Remote Relay. You can manage or cancel the subscription in Settings -> Apple ID. MAC, IPHONE, AND IPAD Your Mac remains the local-first source for private CLI logs. iPhone and iPad provide a clean cockpit for burn, quota, connected devices, and provider status. LOCAL-FIRST PRIVACY OpenBurnBar does not collect analytics by default. Local session logs stay on your Mac unless you explicitly enable sync. API keys are not required for the core tracker. SUPPORTED AGENTS Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Factory Droid, Kimi, Windsurf, Goose, Aider, Cline, RooCode, Kilo Code, OpenClaw, Forge, Augment, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Warp AI, and Hermes.
