Track token usage and AI coding quotas, with timely recovery alerts and reset updates. View quotas, balances, and API billing across providers with iPhone and iPad widgets or Apple Watch complications. KEY FEATURES • View remaining quota and reset countdowns • Receive quota recovery alerts and provider-published reset updates • Use iPhone and iPad widgets, the Apple Watch app, and watch-face complications • Choose from multiple dashboard layouts and customize display settings with AgentMeter Pro • View available banked resets and receive expiry reminders SUPPORTED SERVICES Coding-plan quotas: Claude Code Codex Kimi Code GLM Coding Plan MiniMax Token Plan API balances and billing: DeepSeek OpenRouter xAI API Kimi API OpenAI API Anthropic API INDEPENDENCE AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AgentMeter is an independent third-party app. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or officially authorized by any listed provider. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. Third-party plans and developer API accounts are offered, billed, and managed separately by their providers and are unrelated to AgentMeter Pro. AgentMeter Pro only unlocks in-app dashboard layouts, custom service order, and iPhone and iPad widgets; it does not include any third-party subscription or API quota. Data sources, quota rules, reset schedules, and billing methods may change. The provider’s official account and billing information always takes precedence. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open AgentMeter on your iPhone and Apple Watch. 2. For plans that require Mac collection, install the companion AgentMeter collector from our website. 3. Services that support iPhone collection can be configured directly in the app. 4. Add an iPhone or iPad widget or an Apple Watch complication to keep quota status close at hand. PRIVACY AND DATA RELIABILITY Provider credentials are never sent to AgentMeter servers. Coding-plan credentials remain on the Mac or iPhone responsible for collection. Cleaned quota snapshots sync between your devices through your private iCloud database. Credentials used for API balances and billing remain in the non-synchronizing Keychain of the device where they were entered and are never written to CloudKit. A paired Apple Watch receives only allowlisted display values. It does not store provider credentials or connect directly to provider APIs. If a request fails, a credential expires, or a data source changes, AgentMeter keeps the last successful result and marks it as stale. Unknown data is never presented as a confirmed quota value. AGENTMETER PRO Quota viewing, notifications, the Mac companion, the Watch app, and every Apple Watch complication remain free. AgentMeter Pro is available as a monthly subscription, yearly subscription, or one-time lifetime purchase. It unlocks: • Advanced iPhone and iPad dashboard layouts • A dense list layout • Custom service display order • Every iPhone and iPad widget The yearly subscription includes a seven-day free trial. Prices are displayed by the App Store. REQUIREMENTS • A paired Apple Watch is required for Watch features • Devices must use the same Apple Account for cross-device quota synchronization • Some coding plans require the companion Mac collector • A valid plan or developer API account from the relevant provider is required Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
