Limits shows your AI coding rate limits at a glance. See session usage, weekly quotas, and reset timers for the providers you connect, all in one place. Connect with secure sign in. Limits never sends your tokens to a server. Your tokens stay on your device in the Keychain, and your usage is cached on device so the widgets can read it. 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 - Grok Bot (via Cursor) 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: support@getlimits.app

UsagEX shows how much of your Claude and Codex limits you have used, when each one resets, and warns you before you run out. TRY IT FIRST Explore every screen with sample data before you connect an account: choose "Explore with sample data" in step 2 of the setup. LIMITS • The 5-hour session and the weekly limit for Claude and Codex, with the reset time of each. Claude's per-model weekly limits are shown too. • Pace line: if your weekly limit will run out before it resets, the week card tells you when. • Switch between Claude and Codex with one tap. Both use the same screens and settings. ALERTS • Notifications at the thresholds you choose (by default 50/75/90% for the session and 75/90% for the week), when a limit resets, and when your pace points to an early run-out. • Streak reminder, morning window suggestion and a weekly summary. Quiet hours keep your nights silent. STREAK AND REPORTS • Streak: your run of active days, with one rest day a week. Milestones at 3, 7, 14, 30, 50, 100 days and beyond. • Daily, weekly and monthly reports: tokens, models, sessions, projects and the cost equivalent at API prices. • Limit card: how often you hit the limit, how long you waited, and a suggested time to start your morning window. WIDGETS Claude, Codex, Claude + Codex, Streak and Pace. Pace shows whether your session limit lasts at this pace, and when it would run out. VS AND LEAGUE Duel a friend over a code, QR or link, or play in a weekly friends league. Unlock characters along the way. TIPS More than 50 tips for Claude Code and more than 20 for Codex, each based on the official docs. HOW IT WORKS Claude: sign in with your Claude account inside the app. Your percentages are read from your own account.

It adds token, model and project reports, Codex alerts and VS. Only usage counters and quota data are sent; prompts, code and credentials are never uploaded. PRIVACY Your prompts, code and conversations are never transmitted. You can delete your account and all of your data from inside the app. Privacy policy: https://usagex.dijitalpi.com/privacy The app is free. No API key needed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UsagEX at none against Limits's 3. UsagEX also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Limits's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#71 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
