About

LimitPulse

Read full description

LimitPulse puts your current AI account limits, public early-reset reports, service status, product updates, and local history in one native iPhone dashboard. Highlights β€’ Read-only usage and reset status β€’ Clear remaining time and data freshness β€’ Fixed 0–100% quota and token-activity trends β€’ Curated public reset reports, clearly separated from account verification β€’ Official service-status and product-update summaries with source links β€’ A public early-reset calendar that distinguishes reports, verification, and retractions β€’ Verified reset alerts when iOS permits background delivery β€’ Local history, disconnect, and delete controls β€’ A complete sample dashboard that works without signing in Public reports never prove that your account reset. LimitPulse checks the account's read-only usage on the iPhone before recording or notifying a verified reset. Your password is entered only on the provider's system-browser page. Authentication material stays in the iPhone Keychain, and usage history stays on this iPhone. Account data is never uploaded to a LimitPulse server. Public-source summaries contain no account data and link back to their source. Usage interfaces may change. When a request fails, LimitPulse keeps the last successful snapshot visible and shows its current freshness instead of hiding the limitation. Background delivery is best effort, so reset alerts cannot be guaranteed at an exact minute. LimitPulse is an independent third-party companion and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI.
