Tempo keeps your Claude Code usage front and center - on your Mac menu bar, your iPhone, and your wrist. If you use Claude Code daily, you know the feeling: a session resets unexpectedly, you hit your limit mid-task, or you lose track of how much you've spent this week. Tempo fixes that. - MENU BAR - Tempo lives quietly in your macOS menu bar. At a glance you see your current session percentage, time until reset, burn rate, and extra usage costs. No need to open a browser or check a dashboard - it's always there. - IPHONE - The iOS companion reads your usage from iCloud and shows the same data on your phone. Dashboard view for the current moment, Activity view for 24H / 7D / 30D trends. See your average session, peak usage, and weekly patterns over time. - APPLE WATCH - Tempo sends your usage to Apple Watch in real time. The watch face shows session and weekly rings at a glance. When a session ends, you get a haptic tap on your wrist - no more guessing when it resets. - WHAT YOU GET - - Live session % and time until reset - 5-hour and 7-day usage tracking - Burn rate - know how fast you're consuming your limit - Extra usage credits and cost tracking - Historical activity charts (24H, 7D, 30D) - Sync across all your devices via iCloud - Haptic alerts on Apple Watch when a session ends - macOS menu bar with one-click access - HOW IT WORKS - Sign in with your Anthropic account on the Mac app. Tempo polls your usage and writes it to iCloud.

DevFob

DevFob puts your Mac's Claude Code sessions on your iPhone — and your Apple Watch. Claude Code runs on your Mac. DevFob lets you watch every session and answer it from anywhere, so a long run never stalls waiting on a prompt you didn't see. • See every session live — running, idle, or needs-you-now. • Answer permission prompts (Allow / Deny) and multiple-choice questions from your iPhone or Apple Watch. • Send a quick instruction or reply without walking back to the Mac. • Resume an interrupted session. • Switch your Mac's operating mode. • Glance at your Claude usage (5-hour and weekly windows). Built for trust: • End-to-end encrypted. Pair your iPhone to your Mac with a one-time code; every command is sealed, so the relay only ever sees ciphertext. • No account, no tracking. It talks to your own Mac, not to us. • The Apple Watch app mirrors your iPhone, so the watch never holds your Mac's keys. DevFob requires the DevFob host running on your Mac (devfob.com).
