How much AI quota is left? When does it reset? See it in TokenWise. Built for people who code with AI and switch between services and accounts. Bring quotas, balances and reset times together on your iPhone or iPad, so checking your limits takes fewer trips to provider websites. • Know what you have left Check session, weekly and other periodic limits, account balances and reset countdowns. Choose Used or Remaining, and see general and model-specific quotas separately. Name and reorder accounts to keep your primary and backup accounts easy to find. On iPad, the layout adapts between one and multiple columns as the window changes, keeping quotas easy to scan in Split View and in either orientation. • Check without opening the app Put chosen accounts in Home Screen or Lock Screen widgets. Follow reset countdowns on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities, automatically tracking a quota window that needs attention or staying with an account you choose. Away from your desk, check quotas and reset times on Apple Watch or glance at a watch face complication. • Notice when things change Get alerts when a quota approaches its limit, a window resets, weekly usage pace needs attention or a sign-in expires. Set auto-refresh for each account. Background updates and alerts depend on system scheduling, battery and network conditions; open the app and refresh to confirm the latest state. • Fit quota checks into your routine Use Siri or Shortcuts to check cached quotas, open account details and manage Live Activities. On iOS 18 and later, Control Center and Lock Screen controls let you refresh accounts and turn Live Activities on or off. • Your AI services, together Currently supports Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, GLM Coding Plan, DeepSeek API, MiniMax Token Plan, OpenRouter, Kimi API, Kimi Code, Qwen Coding Plan, Notion AI and Nous Portal. Add accounts through official-page sign-in, an API key or credentials, depending on the service. Available quotas, balances and reset times vary by provider. • Private by design Credentials stay in the device Keychain. Quota requests go directly from your device to the provider. No TokenWise registration, developer-operated backend, advertising, analytics SDK or cross-app tracking. We do not receive your credentials, quotas or usage history. TokenWise checks quotas; it does not offer AI chat or send messages for you. For some services, it can open the official page where you can start a quota window yourself. • One purchase, across your devices Available for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, with a Mac app too. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks multiple accounts, all widget sizes and Lock Screen widgets, multiple Watch accounts and complications, Live Activities, the full set of alerts and the shortcut to start a quota window on the official page. Purchase access is shared across iPhone, iPad and Mac, with no recurring subscription. See the app for details and local pricing. Accounts stay local and must be added separately on iPhone and Mac; they do not sync automatically. The interface supports Simplified and Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German and Brazilian Portuguese. TokenWise is an independent third-party utility, not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any listed provider. Interfaces, sign-in methods and quota rules may change. Refer to provider websites for authoritative quota, billing and plan information.
