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.

See when AI is down and how much you have left — at a glance, on your Home Screen. Nomo is a fast, private companion for people who live in AI tools. It tracks live service status, your usage limits, and your coding-agent sessions, and surfaces them where you actually look: widgets, the Lock Screen, notifications, and the Dynamic Island. LIVE STATUS Know the instant a provider has an outage. Nomo reads public status pages and shows a clear up / degraded / down signal, with the last 90 days of uptime and beautiful animated widgets you can drop on any Home Screen. USAGE LIMITS Keep your rate limits in view. Sign in with the provider's own login and Nomo shows your session and weekly usage on a widget and in the app — so you never hit a wall mid-task. Your tokens stay on your device; they're never sent to us. CODING SESSIONS (Nomo Pro) Pair your computer with a quick QR scan and watch your coding-agent sessions run live — working, done, or waiting on you — on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with the active model and session title. Get a heads-up the moment an agent finishes or needs a decision — and answer it right there, without going back to your desk. On the same Wi-Fi, updates can travel directly between your phone and your computer for lower latency. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sessions are end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The encryption key is created on your computer and transferred only by scanning the QR code — it never leaves your devices. Our relay is blind: it stores only encrypted data it cannot read. Decryption happens on your phone. SMART ALERTS Choose which services to watch and get notified when status changes or your usage runs low. Alerts are dynamic and battery-friendly. WORKS WITH THE TOOLS YOU USE Nomo supports 7 providers today — Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI (ChatGPT / Codex), Cursor, Grok (xAI), Antigravity (Google), Kimi (Moonshot AI), and DeepSeek — for live status, most with usage tracking too, plus live coding sessions for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Cursor. More on the way. NOMO PRO Unlock live Sessions with Nomo Pro, an auto-renewing subscription. Status, usage widgets, and alerts are free. JUST WANT A LOOK? Turn on sample data in Settings to see Usage, Sessions, and the widgets filled with placeholder content — no account or pairing required. Available in English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified & Traditional). — Unofficial app. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor (Anysphere), xAI, Google, Moonshot AI, or DeepSeek. Status data comes from their public status pages. All product names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
