CodexBar for iOS lets you monitor your AI coding tool usage on the go. View rate limits, spending, token usage, and budget tracking for providers like Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and OpenRouter — all synced from your Mac in real time via iCloud. Requires the CodexBar Mac app — this iOS app is a companion that reads usage data pushed by CodexBar on your Mac. Install the Mac app first, enable iCloud Sync in its settings, and your data will appear on your iPhone automatically. Features: • Share your AI spending as a beautiful image card with Classic or Vibe style options • Export share cards for Today, 7 Days, or 30 Days, with dark mode support • Real-time rate limit tracking with reset countdowns, budget progress, and daily cost breakdowns • Cost dashboard with provider share, model and service mix, and 30-day spend analysis • Interactive charts with Bar and Line styles, press-and-hold inspection, and horizontal scrolling for history • Daily spend and token usage views with clearer summaries and sharper breakdown amounts • Sharper percentage and cost labels across provider cards and tighter layouts for easier reading • Toggle between used and remaining quota display in Settings • Smarter chart axis scaling with clean integer tick marks for easier reading • Improved iCloud sync reliability, better error reporting, pull-to-refresh, and built-in onboarding guidance Open Source CodexBar is built on the open-source CodexBar project, licensed under MIT. This fork (github.com/o1xhack/CodexBar-Mobile) adds iCloud sync and the iOS companion app. Contributions and feedback are welcome on GitHub.

About

RepoPress

Features
Read full description

Keep your own static blog close at hand. RepoPress helps you edit Markdown, organize article information and images, and work with content in a Git repository you configure. Write and preview Edit local drafts and review Markdown previews. Organize titles, tags, summaries and cover images. Preview code, tables and math; your site's build remains the reference for theme templates and shortcodes. Prepare and publish Connect your own GitHub or GitLab repository, import articles, inspect changes and confirm what is submitted. Work with Zola, Astro, Hugo, Hexo and Jekyll projects. Your configured hosting service builds and deploys the website. Keep your work organized Manage drafts, images, version history and publishing records. Use workspace backup and restore tools. Optionally enable notes sync and snapshots in your own Apple iCloud account. Optional AI assistance Configure a compatible service, model and your own API key, and confirm the data-sharing scope before using article context. System Writing Tools are also available on supported devices according to system settings; they are separate from the app's configured AI providers. Free plan and Pro The free plan includes core editing and one real site. Eligible workspaces begin a seven-day setup grace period after the first successful publish or sync. Publishing/backup and Sync Center operations are unmetered during that period; it is not a Pro trial and does not remove the site limit. Afterwards, each day includes three successful publishing/backup runs and three successful Sync Center batch imports/merges. Each site's first successful sync to local drafts does not count. Failures, cancellations and read-only checks do not consume successful-operation quota. Changing the date or time zone does not reset quota early. RepoPress Pro is a one-time purchase that removes the site limit and these daily limits. The App Store purchase sheet shows the current price. Third-party repository, hosting or AI services may require separate accounts, permissions or payments.
