VibePeek helps developers understand AI usage across Claude, Codex, OpenAI, Gemini, Cursor, and other coding agents. It turns token counts, request volume, estimated spend, budget progress, quota windows, plan status, provider and source signals, group and global usage trends, widgets, Live Activities, and Apple Watch surfaces into a compact dashboard. Sign in with Apple or Google. New accounts open clearly labeled sample data so you can explore the app before syncing live usage from the free VibePeek macOS companion. VibePeek collects usage metadata, not prompt or response content. It does not upload prompts, responses, source code, project files, or raw local logs. There are no in-app purchases in this build. Estimated dollar values are analytics only and are not charges, payments, credits, or access to third-party AI services. Users manage provider billing directly with each provider.

OpenDisplay turns your iPhone or iPad into a second display for your Mac. It's the open-source way to put your spare Apple device to work as a real extended monitor — drag windows onto it, keep chat, notes, or logs in view, and gain screen space anywhere you go. It's not a mirror: it's a genuine additional display your Mac treats like any other monitor. • Real extended display — arrange it in your Mac's Display settings and drag windows across • Connect over USB for the lowest latency, or over Wi-Fi with zero setup • Retina-sharp, pixel-for-pixel rendering • Touch and scroll — tap, drag, and two-finger scroll to control your Mac • Works in portrait or landscape • Private by design — a direct connection between your own devices, with no accounts, no servers, and no tracking IMPORTANT: OpenDisplay requires the companion OpenDisplay app for Mac, running on your computer on the same cable or Wi-Fi network. Get it at opendisplay.app — without it, this app has nothing to connect to. OpenDisplay is open source under the GPL-3.0 license.
