Keep track of your AI limits before they interrupt your flow. AI Usage brings your connected AI accounts into one dashboard, so you can see your remaining allowance, check upcoming resets, and plan your next session. Connect Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Grok, and Gemini CLI to keep your usage in view. • Your usage at a glance: See usage, remaining allowance, and available limits for each connected provider. • Reset countdowns: Check when your allowance is expected to refresh. • Home Screen widgets: Follow all your connected providers together, or focus on one. • Usage history and forecasts: Explore readings saved on your device and estimate how long your allowance may last based on recent activity. • Optional reminders: Choose alerts at 75%, 90%, or 95% usage, plus reminders for expected resets. Your usage history stays on your device, and sign-in credentials are stored securely. Disconnecting a provider removes its saved session, history, and reminders from the app. Whether you’re coding, researching, or creating, AI Usage helps you decide when to keep going, switch tools, or take a break. Requires an account with a supported provider. Available usage details vary by provider and plan. Gemini support tracks Gemini CLI allowance. Refresh timing depends on provider availability and your device; forecasts and reset times are estimates. AI Usage is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the supported providers.
