About

CmdForge

Read full description

CmdForge is a command and snippet organizer for personal use. Save commands and text snippets you use often, organize them into groups, and copy them with one tap. Search finds a saved command quickly. Everything is stored locally on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, and no analytics. An optional feature lets you sync your commands to a Google Sheet. This requires your own Google Cloud service account credentials, which you create and manage yourself. CmdForge does not run its own servers and does not see your data.

About

AI Usage Limits

Features
Read full description

See how much of your AI allowance you have used, and when it resets, without opening a single dashboard. Every provider hides your remaining quota somewhere different. AI Usage Limits puts them on one screen โ€” and on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. SUPPORTED SERVICES โ€ข Claude โ€” session (5-hour) and weekly windows โ€ข ChatGPT / Codex โ€” rate-limit windows โ€ข Grok โ€” credit usage โ€ข Cursor โ€” plan usage โ€ข OpenRouter โ€” credit limit and balance WIDGETS โ€ข All Providers โ€” everything you have connected, at a glance โ€ข Single Provider โ€” one service in full detail, with reset times โ€ข Home Screen and Lock Screen sizes, including inline and circular โ€ข Every widget shows when it last updated, and flags stale figures rather than passing them off as current TRY IT FIRST Not ready to connect an account? Turn on sample data during setup or in Settings and the app fills itself โ€” dashboard and widgets โ€” with made-up figures so you can see exactly what you would get. BUILT TO BE BORING ABOUT YOUR DATA โ€ข No account, no server, no analytics, no ads, no tracking โ€ข You sign in on each provider's own page in Safari โ€” the app never sees your password โ€ข Credentials are stored in your device Keychain and sent only to the provider they belong to โ€ข The app asks for the narrowest access it can. Its Claude token can read your usage and cannot send prompts or spend your allowance โ€ข "Delete all data" removes every credential, cached figure and preference from your device โ€ข About โ†’ Privacy & connections lists exactly what each service is asked for FREE AND OPEN SOURCE No ads, no subscription, no paid tier. The whole app is on GitHub โ€” read exactly what it does and what it sends. PLEASE NOTE This is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Anysphere or OpenRouter. Except for OpenRouter, it reads usage endpoints those companies have not documented, so a service can change and temporarily stop reporting. Figures are indicative โ€” your provider's own dashboard is authoritative, and you should not rely on this app for billing decisions.
