Monitor AI coding tool usage from your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Pair with the free VibeCheck Mac companion to see usage limits, reset times, available cost history, and provider status. Available metrics depend on the provider and plan. Browse provider pricing for free. Dashboard access requires a one-time purchase or an active Remote Control subscription. Remote Control is available monthly or yearly and includes Dashboard access while active. Your separate one-time Dashboard purchase remains yours when a Remote subscription ends. Remote Control lets you start and continue Codex sessions on your paired Mac from iPhone, read streamed replies, and respond to approval requests. Your Mac must be available. Local connections and optional relay connections are supported. Provider credentials stay on your Mac. Paired devices receive usage data; optional remote features can use encrypted relay traffic and private iCloud paths. Camera, local network, microphone, and speech recognition permissions are used for the features that need them. Requires macOS 14 or later with VibeCheck, and iOS/iPadOS 17 or later. The Watch companion requires watchOS 10 or later. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your Apple Account before renewal.

Codexex keeps Codex quota and OpenAI API monitoring together on iPhone and iPad. Sign in with ChatGPT to see your 5-hour and weekly allowance, reset times and provider-reported Codex credits. Accounts that report only a weekly limit get a weekly view. Codex credits are shown separately from API dollars. Connect a standard OpenAI API key to verify API access, or an organization Admin key for usage and cost reports. Optional prepaid balance monitoring uses a separate billing sign-in. Add quota and API balance widgets to your Home Screen. Start a Live Activity for subscription quota on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Readings come from app refreshes; iOS decides when background updates run. Widgets show the last observation and mark older data as stale. Native onboarding, clear account settings, light and dark appearances, larger text support, preview data and local usage history make it easy to get started. Saved API keys and subscription tokens use this device's Keychain. Provider requests run on your device. The optional background wake service receives delivery details, not your OpenAI credentials or quota values. Codexex monitors usage without generating content.
