Cooldown
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cooldown shows how much of your AI subscriptions you've used before you hit the wall. Link your accounts and see every usage window, credit balance, and reset timer at a glance - in the app and in Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Stop getting cut off mid-task because you didn't know you were almost out. SUPPORTS 8 PROVIDERS Claude, ChatGPT / Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, OpenRouter, Antigravity, Cursor, and Grok. Link more than one account per provider. WIDGET-FIRST Pick from a gallery of designs - rings, gauges, bars, battery, countdowns, and multi-account boards - sized for Small, Medium, Large, and the Lock Screen. Choose the design by name; every widget updates on its own. SMART ALERTS (all optional, all on-device) Get a heads-up at your usage thresholds, when a window resets, or when your burn rate says you'll run out before the reset. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account to create. You sign in directly with each provider using their own secure sign-in; the tokens stay in your iPhone's Keychain and your usage is fetched straight from the provider to your device. We never see your tokens, your email, or your usage. The only data we collect is anonymous crash reports and product analytics to keep the app working - never your personal information. Independent app. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub, Google, OpenRouter, Anysphere, or xAI. Cooldown offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions: - Plus: $3.99/month or $24.99/year (7-day free trial on annual) - Pro: $6.99/month or $49.99/year (7-day free trial on annual) Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Cadence
Read full descriptionHide full description
adence shows every contribution you have made to GitHub on one screen: commits, pull requests, issues and reviews, from your first year to today. Pick a window and the grid and the total recompute. Swipe to step a year. All is simply the widest window: one row per year, one cell per month, every year you have. READ-ONLY ACCESS The scope is read:user, the narrowest permission that can count private contributions. Nothing can be pushed or edited, and your code is never read. Revoke it on GitHub at any time. NO ACCOUNT Nothing to sign up for. You approve a code on GitHub's own page and the token stays in your device keychain. There are no Cadence servers, no analytics and no advertising. WORKS OFFLINE Your history is cached on the device, so every window and every year reads without a connection. Nothing is disabled and nothing is greyed out; a quiet line names the date the record reaches. FREE, NO ADS Cadence is free, with no in-app purchases and no ads. WHAT GETS COUNTED The totals come from GitHub's own contribution calendar, so everything it counts is inside every number here, private contributions included. Commits, pull requests, issues and reviews are broken out per day; discussions and new repositories are in the total only, because GitHub does not report them separately.

Verdict
Cooldown and Cadence are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
