Usages brings AI coding-tool usage into one private dashboard. Connect supported AI coding services and see the usage information each provider makes available, including quota windows, reset times, token activity, cost summaries, and account status. FEATURES • View multiple providers in one dashboard • Track remaining quota and reset times • Review daily token and cost history when the provider supplies it • Set a personal daily token goal • Get usage alerts and a daily reminder at a time you pick, on time even when the app is closed • Add Home Screen widgets for quick status checks • Use Usages on iPad, with a sidebar and two-column screens • Focus with a countdown or Pomodoro timer, focus sounds, focus stats, and a breathing pause before distracting apps • Import supported local usage logs for on-device summaries USAGES PRO The free plan includes two providers and one quota alert. 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.

Headroom

See how much AI you have left and when your limits reset. Headroom brings usage from multiple services and accounts together, so you spend less time checking separate dashboards. Your remaining limits at a glance Check usage and remaining percentages for each account, along with reset times for individual limits. Switch between a countdown and the clock time of the next reset. Multiple services and accounts Connect accounts for Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, OpenCode Go, Cursor, Google Antigravity, and Grok/SuperGrok. Available limits and account details depend on the data provided by each service and subscription plan. On your Home Screen and wrist Keep frequently checked limits close with Home Screen widgets. On Apple Watch, view usage and reset times delivered from your iPhone. Watch face complications are also supported. Notifications when you need them Get alerts when newly checked usage crosses your selected threshold or reaches a limit, and enable reset reminders. Delivery depends on notification permission, your settings, and available usage updates. Made for iPhone and iPad Use Headroom on iPhone and iPad, with support for 21 languages including English and Korean. Data and refresh details Account credentials and fetched usage are stored locally on your device. The app communicates with the relevant services to sign in and retrieve usage. When an account is connected and Background refresh is enabled, Headroom sends your Apple Push Notification service (APNs) device token, push environment, and registration/update timestamps to its push server. Turning this setting off or removing all connected accounts deletes the device registration from that server. Account credentials and usage are not sent to that push server. Background refresh, widget updates, and Apple Watch delivery depend on the operating system, network connectivity, power conditions, and other system limits. Updates are not guaranteed to be real time or occur at a fixed interval. Force-quitting the iPhone app stops background refresh until you open it again. Headroom is not an official app of the supported services. Service names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. An account with the service you want to connect is required. Available information may change with provider policies.
