Usages Pro, an auto-renewable subscription, connects every provider and turns on every alert: thresholds you choose, window resets, run-out forecasts, pace, budget and your daily goal. Yearly or monthly; manage or cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Usages has no accounts. OAuth tokens and Admin API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device. Usage history, settings, and imported summaries stay on your device, and can optionally sync through your own private iCloud. Server alerts upload only the numbers those alerts need, under a random install ID that is not linked to you, and can be turned off in Settings. Crash reports and anonymous product analytics never include credentials, emails, account names or usage figures, are not used for tracking, and can be turned off in Settings. No advertising. Usages is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any supported service provider. Available metrics vary by provider and account type.

BDUI Go
Read full descriptionHide full description
BDUI Go is a runner for server-driven UI: it opens apps described by JSON schemas and renders them natively — the way a browser opens websites, only for mobile screens. A schema is data, not code: it declares which components to show and which HTTP requests to make. BDUI Go renders that data with native Compose Multiplatform components — no webview, no downloaded executables. Scan a QR code or open a link, and the app it points to loads instantly. When its author publishes an update, you see the new screens in seconds — no reinstall, no waiting for a new version. TRY IT RIGHT AWAY — NO ACCOUNT NEEDED • Component showcase: every BDUI building block, rendered live from JSON • Currency exchange demo: live rates from the Frankfurter API with pull-to-refresh • Weather demo: city search and forecasts via the Open-Meteo API • Auth demo: automatic token injection with transparent refresh and retry HOW IT WORKS 1. An author describes an app in a JSON schema and publishes it 2. They share a link or a QR code 3. You open it in BDUI Go — the screens render natively on your iPhone Every publish reaches users in seconds. Authors can switch between dev, staging and production channels and roll back to any version in one click. FEATURES • Native rendering (Compose Multiplatform) — no webview • Offline cache: previously opened apps launch even without a network • Recents list, with any app pinned as the default one that opens on start • Host allow-list: a schema declares the hosts it may call, and requests to anything else are blocked • Declarative token auth for API-backed apps • Universal Links: https://bdui.io/a/… opens directly in BDUI Go PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. The camera is used only to scan QR codes, entirely on your device.
