Rate Limits brings your AI usage and reset times into one clear dashboard. Connect supported coding tools to see what is left before you start your next session. • See remaining allowances across multiple accounts in one place. • Check upcoming reset times and spot balances that need attention. • Review usage recorded on your device and see a recent pace estimate when enough data is available. • Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for a quick glance. • Set optional low-balance alerts and reset reminders. • Choose which accounts and limits appear on your dashboard, with privacy controls for names and balances. Supported connections include Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, Antigravity, and Grok. Available usage details depend on what each provider reports. Widgets show your latest saved data; refresh the app to check for a newer balance. Rate Limits is an independent app and is not affiliated with those providers.
