Step away from your desk without losing the thread. ANALYTICS - never get surprised by a limit Live rate-limit gauges show how much of your 5-hour and weekly allowances you have used. Historical token and cost analytics break your spend down by project and by model, with Apple Watch complications that put it on your wrist. WHY CONTINUUM - Pairs with your Mac. The Continuum Mac app does the heavy lifting and streams securely to your iPhone and Watch over your own network. - Local-first. Your prompts, code, and logs stay on your devices. - Built for developers who live in the terminal. HOW IT WORKS Continuum is a client. It does not host or resell any AI model. It reads the session and usage files that the developer tools already installed on your Mac write to disk, and it relays your input to those tools. You sign in to each tool with your own account or API key, obtained and paid for directly from that provider. Continuum shows you what you are already running. ACCOUNTS Continuum is free to download and free to use with your own provider accounts. An optional Continuum account keeps your workspace in sync across your devices. CONTINUUM PLUS SUBSCRIPTION Continuum Plus is an optional auto-renewable subscription that includes $25 of hosted AI usage every week, on every device.

RuntimeBrief turns activity from your local coding agents and repositories into short, evidence-backed project updates. Connect the app to the RuntimeBrief daemon running on your Mac to see what changed, what is still in progress, and what needs your attention. Each claim links back to its supporting commit, working-tree scan, or agent session. Features: • A concise portfolio brief across your registered projects • Evidence-backed project status and recent agent activity • Native Claude Code, Codex and Cursor tasks in registered projects with model and permission choices and provider-supported native handoff • Optional, on-demand analyst answers through your own Codex CLI login • Local Xcode, TestFlight, and App Store release summaries • Siri and Shortcuts access to project status • Saved briefs when your Mac is temporarily unavailable • A fully offline fictional demo requiring no account or server RuntimeBrief has no hosted account, analytics SDK, advertising SDK, or public cloud relay. Live project data stays under your control on your Mac and private network. Optional analyst processing follows the data controls of the ChatGPT workspace selected in Codex CLI. Native tasks use your existing provider login and follow that provider's account policies and the selected tool permissions. A Mac running runtimebriefd is required for live project data. The in-app demo can be explored without installing or configuring anything. Native tasks require the selected coding agent installed and signed in on that Mac. Provider-supported handoff also requires the corresponding native desktop app.
