Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep your limits visible without opening the app. Live countdowns keep ticking between refreshes, so you always know how much you have left and when it resets. Supported providers: - Codex (ChatGPT) - Claude Code - Cursor - Grok - Antigravity Why you will like it: - One dashboard for every limit you care about - Ring and bar gauges that stay readable at a glance - Reset countdowns on your Home Screen and Lock Screen - Private by design, with no account required for Limits itself - No ads, no tracking, and no analytics Limits is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, Anysphere, Google, xAI, or any other provider. Provider names are used only to identify the services you choose to connect. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/stdeula/ Questions or feedback: hi@pranavkarthik.com
