Track Every MB. Stop Being Surprised by Your Mobile Bill. NetUsageLog helps you monitor your Wi-Fi and mobile data usage, track consumption based on your own plans and quotas, and receive alerts before you run out. Simple, clean, and completely on-device. Why Choose NetUsageLog ◆ Match Your Real Billing Cycle Set a monthly reset day (for example, the 3rd of every month), create custom date ranges, or use a daily eSIM quota mode that matches your carrier's billing cycle or travel data plan. ◆ Daily eSIM Quota Support – Perfect for Travelers Designed for eSIM plans that provide a daily data allowance. Automatically resets each day and shows your remaining data and recommended daily usage. Ideal for international travel. ◆ Separate Tracking for Dual SIM and eSIM Monitor each SIM or eSIM independently and assign custom names such as "Primary SIM" or "Travel eSIM". ◆ Usage Alerts Receive automatic notifications when your mobile data usage reaches 80% or 100% of your quota. Only mobile data counts toward plan limits; Wi-Fi usage is excluded. ◆ Visualize Long-Term Trends View usage charts and statistics over the last 7 days, 30 days, or 12 months. Analyze usage patterns by individual SIM line. ◆ Home Screen Widgets Check your current usage and remaining quota directly from your Home Screen without opening the app. ◆ Privacy First All data stays on your device. No VPN required and no usage data is uploaded to any server. Full backup and restore support helps you keep your data when changing devices. ◆ Multiple Languages Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. ◆ Important Note iOS does not allow apps to continuously monitor network usage in the background. Usage statistics are updated only when the app is opened. All figures are estimates and may differ from your carrier's records. Mobile data tracking requires a physical device. ◆ NetUsageLog Pro (Optional Upgrade) One-time purchase to unlock: Ad-free experience Data backup and restore Advanced history and statistics Stay informed. Stay within your data plan. NetUsageLog makes every MB count.

BitMeter is a clean, honest mobile data monitor. See how much of your plan you've used, how much is left, and whether you're on track for the month. All at a glance, without opening the app. WHAT YOU GET • A clear dashboard - data used in big, readable numbers, plus days left, data remaining, and a daily budget so you know if you'll make it to your reset date. • Home & lock screen widgets - glance at your remaining data anytime, without opening the app. • On-track projection - BitMeter watches your recent pace and colors the screen green, amber, or red so an overage never sneaks up on you. • Daily history - see your day-by-day usage, and step back through previous cycles. • Usage alerts - get a heads up as you approach your limit. • Ask Siri - "How much data do I have left?" works through Siri and Shortcuts. • Set up in seconds - enter your plan's allowance and reset date and you're done. Installing mid-cycle? Enter what you've already used so your totals start accurate. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No sign-ups. No analytics or tracking. Everything stays on your device and is never sent anywhere. Your data is yours. AN HONEST ESTIMATE iOS doesn't let apps read your carrier's official usage, so BitMeter measures your cellular data on your device while it runs. Keep it installed and the numbers stay accurate. No app can read your carrier's exact numbers, and we're upfront about that instead of pretending otherwise. PREMIUM (one-time purchase) Unlock a few extras with a single purchase — no subscription: • Rollover - model AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile style rollover and see your banked data. • Multiple plans - track more than one SIM or data plan and switch between them. • Smart alerts - set several usage milestones and a pace warning that flags a likely overage before it happens. • Color themes - style the dashboard and widget with palettes like OLED, Dracula, Gruvbox, Neon, and Solar. • Fonts - pick the typeface for your dashboard and widget. • Bit Mode - a retro pixel look with a speedometer gauge and CRT styling for the dashboard and home screen widgets. Everything else stays free, forever. (an app by goonbits)
