Clauge is a read-only iPhone companion for keeping an eye on your own Claude usage. It is an unofficial, third-party app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic. "Claude" and "claude.ai" are products of Anthropic; this app simply reads your own account data so you can see it at a glance. WANT TO LOOK AROUND FIRST? You do not need an account to explore the app. On the first screen, tap "Take a look with sample data" and the entire app opens, filled with clearly-labelled example numbers. A persistent "SAMPLE DATA — Connect your account" banner stays on screen the whole time so nothing is ever mistaken for your real usage. It is the easiest way to see exactly what Clauge does before you sign in. WHAT YOU SEE ONCE YOU CONNECT - Usage: your current session and weekly limits with a live countdown to reset, your credit balance, and any overage — your own usage, a tap away. - Trends: a local history of your usage over time, kept on your device. - Settings: your account and app preferences. ANALYTICS — IF YOU ALSO RUN CLAUGE ON YOUR MAC The Analytics tab is always here. If you also use the separate Clauge app for Mac (a free download on the Mac App Store) signed in under the same Apple ID, it fills with your Claude Code analytics: a return-on-investment number, your spend, a 180-day activity heatmap, and breakdowns by model, by project, and by tool. Without the Mac app, the Analytics tab simply shows a short "No analytics yet — open Clauge on your Mac" note instead. The Usage and Trends tabs work on their own either way. This works because the Mac app writes a small stats file into your own private iCloud, which this app reads. HOW SIGNING IN WORKS You log in once to your own claude.ai account, right inside the app, using an email magic code or Sign in with Apple. (Google sign-in is not supported inside in-app browsers, so please use email or Apple.) From then on, the app reads only your own usage. Clauge has no account system and no server of its own — it never sits between you and your data. PRIVACY, PLAINLY - No backend. Clauge has no server. It talks only to claude.ai (your own account) and reads your own private iCloud. - The sign-in session is stored in the iPhone Keychain, on your device only, and is excluded from backups. - No tracking, no analytics, no telemetry, no ads, no third-party SDKs, no advertising identifier (IDFA). - The privacy manifest declares no tracking and collects no data types. WHAT THIS APP IS NOT - It is not an official Anthropic app. - It does not sell anything. There are no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. It is free. - It is not a way to chat with Claude. It shows usage and analytics only; it is read-only. Built by Adnan Rashid. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

Will your next task fit before the reset? Check your usage, see where it is heading, and start your next task with a clearer picture. AI Session Meter connects to Claude and Codex directly on iPhone and iPad, so you can check their usage limits without a Mac. SEE AHEAD • Daily and Weekly charts bring recorded usage, reset times, and forecasts together. • See your estimated usage at the next reset, with a forecast range when enough recent history is available. • Check remaining headroom and pace guidance before another coding session. • Switch between connected accounts and workspaces with custom labels. GO DEEPER INTO YOUR USAGE Add the Mac app to explore Claude Code and Codex token activity, model breakdowns, and heatmaps from local session history. Sync those statistics to your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud account. Recent usage history supports up to 10-minute detail where available. Gemini quota history and forecasts are also available when synced from a Mac configured with the official Antigravity CLI. Gemini is shown as quota utilization, not token counts. CHECK IN AT A GLANCE • Daily and Weekly Home Screen widgets. • Apple Watch app and watch-face complication for recorded usage. • A native Mac menu-bar app for your desk. • Your own iCloud account keeps supported history and settings in sync. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICES No ads, tracking, or developer account. The app does not run AI prompts or consume model tokens. Provider sign-ins are stored on your devices. Apple Watch displays recorded data; it does not connect directly to an AI service. TRY ALL FEATURES FOR 14 DAYS After the free trial, a one-time in-app purchase unlocks full access across your Apple devices. No subscription. Previous paid-app customers keep full access. Requires compatible provider accounts and setup. Direct Claude and Codex limits work without a Mac; detailed token statistics and Gemini data require the Mac sources described above. Availability and refresh timing depend on the provider, source, and system scheduling. Forecasts are estimates based on recorded usage, not guarantees. AI Session Meter is an independent utility, not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Claude and Claude Code are products of Anthropic; Codex is a product of OpenAI; Gemini and Antigravity are products of Google.
