On your Mac - Your providers' quotas and reset times, one click away in the menu bar - Pace: whether your quota will last until it resets, or when it will run out - Estimated cost from your Claude Code and Codex logs, calculated on your Mac - Usage history for each provider, an activity heatmap and a cost forecast - Active and recent sessions by project, with usage and estimated cost - Alerts when a quota crosses a threshold you choose and, when you are signed in, when your daily cost suddenly jumps - Cost reports you can export as CSV or PDF - Pulse Cat, an optional desktop cat whose vitals follow your real AI usage - No account needed: in local mode your usage stays on this Mac On iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch - The same quotas, costs, sessions and alerts, synced from your Mac - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets (Pro) - Siri and Shortcuts: ask for today's status or for one provider's remaining quota - Apple Watch: quota rings, alerts and sessions on your wrist The iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps show what CLI Pulse collects on your Mac.

About

CPAToken

Features
Read full description

CPAToken是面向 CLIProxyAPI 用户的 iPhone 监控工具,用于把自托管管理面板里的账号状态、额度窗口和请求情况带到移动设备上查看。 连接你自己的 CLIProxyAPI 管理地址和管理密钥后,可以在仪表盘查看账号池概览、最低剩余额度、需要关注的账号、provider 分组、5h/7d 额度平均值、冷却或错误状态,以及 API Key 使用情况。账号详情页支持查看实时额度窗口、模型运行状态、最近请求、订阅与刷新时间等信息,便于快速判断哪个账号需要切换、等待或排查。 CPA Panel 支持内置演示面板,未配置服务器也可以预览主要界面。正式使用时,App 只访问你填写的 CLIProxyAPI 管理端点;不创建账号,不提供托管服务,不管理上游账号池。 为了保护敏感信息,管理密钥保存在 iOS Keychain,服务器地址和刷新设置保存在本机。App 会遮盖 API Key、服务器和账号等敏感字段,并使用无持久缓存的网络请求读取管理数据。 你还可以开启本地低额度提醒。提醒由设备本地生成,默认隐藏账号和服务器名称;在系统允许的情况下,Background App Refresh 会辅助刷新状态,但前台手动刷新始终是最确定的更新方 式。 适合已经部署 CLIProxyAPI、需要随时查看额度和账号状态的个人或团队开发者。
