OpenBurnBar keeps your AI agent burn rate and quota pressure visible across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Track Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Factory Droid, Kimi, and other coding agents from one calm dashboard. The Mac app reads local session logs and can sync selected usage and quota signals to your private cloud workspace so your mobile devices stay useful when you are away from the desk. KEY FEATURES AI SPEND AT A GLANCE See today's estimated spend, token volume, request count, and provider mix without opening billing dashboards. QUOTA VISIBILITY Surface Claude Code, Codex, OpenAI, and other provider quota signals in one place. OpenBurnBar separates local Mac-sourced signals from hosted quota checks so you know exactly where each number came from. REMOTE CODEX QUOTA REFRESH The optional Hosted Quota Sync subscription lets the mobile app request on-demand Codex quota refreshes through OpenBurnBar's cloud runner. Refreshes happen when you ask for them, not on a random background schedule. OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION OpenBurnBar Cloud Monthly is an optional auto-renewable subscription. Length: 1 month, auto-renews monthly. Price: shown in the purchase screen before confirmation and billed monthly by Apple. Each subscription period includes Hosted Codex quota refresh, Conversation Backup & Resume, Full Session-Log Sync, and Hermes Remote Relay. You can manage or cancel the subscription in Settings -> Apple ID. MAC, IPHONE, AND IPAD Your Mac remains the local-first source for private CLI logs. iPhone and iPad provide a clean cockpit for burn, quota, connected devices, and provider status. LOCAL-FIRST PRIVACY OpenBurnBar does not collect analytics by default. Local session logs stay on your Mac unless you explicitly enable sync. API keys are not required for the core tracker. SUPPORTED AGENTS Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Factory Droid, Kimi, Windsurf, Goose, Aider, Cline, RooCode, Kilo Code, OpenClaw, Forge, Augment, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Warp AI, and Hermes.

See when AI is down and how much you have left โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” working, done, or waiting on you โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI (ChatGPT / Codex), Cursor, Grok (xAI), Antigravity (Google), Kimi (Moonshot AI), and DeepSeek โ€” 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 โ€” no account or pairing required. Available in English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified & Traditional). โ€” 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.
