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.

AI Cockpit
Read full descriptionHide full description
Claude, ChatGPT & Codex, Copilot and five more AI services ā how much is left, and when it resets. On your iPhone, your iPad and your Apple Watch: the phone fetches everything itself, no Mac required. Free. No account with the publisher of this app, no server in between. WHAT THE APP SHOWS ⢠Claude subscription: the 5-hour window, the 7-day window and the model-scoped weekly windows, each with a percentage and a reset time ⢠ChatGPT/Codex: the quotas of the signed-in account ⢠OpenAI API: cost today, this month and in total ⢠Anthropic API: cost today, this month and in total ⢠Kimi: balance ā the interface has no usage endpoint, and the card says so ⢠OpenRouter: spend today, this week and this month, plus remaining credit and what's left of the key's spending cap ⢠Grok (xAI): the credit balance of your account and its spending cap ⢠GitHub Copilot: usage and remaining quota of your plan ā only with a privately paid subscription; an organization-managed seat reports usage at the org level only, not per account Every card carries its own timestamp and error state: if one service does not answer, the others are unaffected. Open the app and the figures are already there ā last time's, with their age beside them, while fresh ones arrive. WIDGETS ⢠One line per card you keep visible ā each in its own colour, so you know the source before you read the name ⢠Three sizes for the Home Screen; the large one draws every card's windows as bars with their reset times ⢠Two shapes for the Lock Screen ⢠The small tile also works in StandBy Next to the number, every tile says how old it is ā a figure without its age would be a claim. APPLE WATCH ⢠A verdict first: "Still fine", "Getting tight" or "Window full" ā the wrist question is whether you can carry on ⢠Under it the window that caused the verdict, with its bar, its percentage and when it resets ⢠A crown turn away: every source, one line each. A tap further: the ring per window ⢠A complication in all four shapes ā circular, corner, rectangular, inline. Readable in the tinted rendering most watch faces use: each warning level carries its own symbol, not just its own colour The watch shows, it does not fetch. No credential of any kind is stored on it ā the figures arrive ready-made from the phone. You set everything up on iPhone. ALERTS On request the app tells you when a window crosses a threshold you set yourself, or when a five-hour window starts over. These alerts are produced on the device. Nothing is pushed from a server. WHAT YOU NEED A Claude subscription for the Claude card, a ChatGPT subscription for ChatGPT/Codex, and one API key or account each for the remaining cards. All of it is optional: without a given credential exactly that one card stays empty and everything else keeps working. Runs on iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and watchOS 10 ā with nothing left out. If you just want to look first, open the demo mode. It shows the complete app with sample figures ā no sign-in and no keys ā and a banner at the top says at all times that the numbers are made up. WHAT THE APP DOES NOT DO No account of its own, no registration, no server run by the publisher. No analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no advertising identifier. The only in-app purchase is a voluntary tip that unlocks nothing. No history and no projection ā the app shows the current state, not the story. It never reads the content of your conversations; it fetches quotas and amounts, nothing else. WHERE THE DATA LIVES Credentials are kept in this device's keychain and never travel to the paired Apple Watch. Settings and the last measured figures are kept in the app's local storage. Every connection uses HTTPS and goes straight to the service you supplied a credential for. DISCLAIMER AI Cockpit is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, Moonshot AI, OpenRouter, xAI or GitHub ā not operated, commissioned or endorsed by them. Their names appear on the cards because their figures do.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cooldown at every 2 days against AI Cockpit's every 5 days. AI Cockpit's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
