Codex Live Bar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keep Codex limits visible while you work. Codex Live Bar shows session, weekly, and model-specific usage in a focused Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Create two private Shortcuts automations and the Live Activity can appear when ChatGPT opens and disappear when it closes. Refresh from the app, Shortcuts, or the Live Activity itself. Everything runs on your device. Authentication tokens stay in the iOS Keychain, usage is fetched directly from OpenAI, and there are no analytics, ads, tracking, accounts, or developer servers. Codex Live Bar is an independent client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI. The app relies on an undocumented OpenAI endpoint that may change.
AI Usage Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
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. β’ Your usage at a glance: See usage, remaining allowance, and available limits for each connected provider. β’ Reset countdowns: Check when your allowance is expected to refresh. β’ Home Screen widgets: Follow all your connected providers together, or focus on one. β’ Usage history and forecasts: Explore readings saved on your device and estimate how long your allowance may last based on recent activity. β’ 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 youβre 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.
