AI Cockpit

Claude, ChatGPT & Codex, Copilot and six more AI services — 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. No browser cookies. No data collection. Your keys stay in this device's keychain and never travel to the watch. Free. No account with the publisher, no server in between. WHAT THE APP SHOWS • Claude subscription: the 5-hour, 7-day and model-scoped weekly windows, each with a percentage and a reset time • ChatGPT/Codex: the quotas of the signed-in account • OpenAI API and Anthropic API: cost today, this month and in total • Kimi: balance • OpenRouter: spend, credit and the key's cap • Grok (xAI): balance and spending cap • DeepSeek: balance per currency • GitHub Copilot: usage and quota — personal paid plans only If one service fails, the rest carry on. (i) buttons explain every term. NO SURPRISES • One sentence at the top says where you stand: "All in the green" or "Claude is getting tight today" • A forecast under every window: "full at 16:40 at this pace" — or that it lasts until the reset • A tip when a window is nearly full and another plan or account still has room • A plan check from your weekly peaks (Claude only, an estimate) • Alerts at your threshold, before a five-hour window fills, when it starts over and when it resets off schedule • A cost alert when API spend jumps or credit drains fast; a monthly budget • A Live Activity with up to four windows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • A control for Control Center, the Lock Screen and the Action button YOUR MONEY AND YOUR TIME • Renewal dates: a note days before each plan renews, with the amount • Reset alarm: one bell, one notification when a window is free again • Today's share: "9% left for today so the week lasts" • Quiet hours and "Pause until tomorrow" — cost alerts may come through • Your AI month: on the 1st, a review of what you spent and used, to share as an image • Six shortcuts for Siri and the Shortcuts app Alerts are made on the device when the app fetches — no server. In the background, iOS decides how often. WIDGETS • One service or all, used or remaining • Three sizes for the Home Screen; the large one adds the one-sentence status and today's share • Tap a widget and the app opens that card • Three shapes for the Lock Screen with a live countdown, also in StandBy; in a Smart Stack, AI Cockpit moves up when a window gets tight APPLE WATCH • A verdict first: "Still fine", "Getting tight" or "Window full", and the window behind it • A crown turn away: every source, one line each • Complications in all four shapes The watch shows, it does not fetch: the figures come from the phone. YOUR LOOK Three color schemes — Graphite, Deep Blue, Classic — and a color per card, carried into widgets, watch and Live Activity. Share your status as an image, account names hidden. WHAT YOU NEED For each card the matching plan, API key or account. All optional: without one, only that card stays empty. Demo mode shows the whole app with sample figures. The app speaks English, German, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Hindi. Runs on iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and watchOS 10; the control from iOS 18, on the watch from watchOS 26. WHAT THE APP DOES NOT DO No registration, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. The in-app purchase is a voluntary tip that unlocks nothing. It never reads your chats; it fetches quotas and amounts, nothing else. Settings and figures stay on the device; every connection uses HTTPS and goes straight to the service you added. DISCLAIMER AI Cockpit is an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Moonshot AI, OpenRouter, xAI, DeepSeek or GitHub. Their names appear because their figures do.

AgentHeadroom

Headroom for your agent quota. AgentHeadroom reads the usage limits on the AI accounts you already have, shows how fast you are spending them, and keeps the numbers current on the Lock Screen, in widgets, on iPad and in your Mac's menu bar — without opening anything. REFRESHED FROM ANYWHERE Each of these refreshes, and updates the widgets and the Live Activity: • A Control Center button, even when locked • A Lock Screen button, the Action button, Siri or a Shortcut • Automations: when you open Claude, ChatGPT or Codex, when the device goes on charge, or at a time of day • The refresh button on a widget, or the Live Activity's arrow, which can start the Live Activity with the app closed • On its own in the background, as often as iOS allows ON THE LOCK SCREEN, WITH THE APP CLOSED A Live Activity counts your five-hour window down to the second, with the spend it was last read at and how fast it is moving — and says so when the window resets. WHAT IT SHOWS • Every window at once — five-hour, weekly, and per-model — as a ring • Whether you are on pace, ahead, or burning, measured against the clock • A projection: at this rate, do you run out before the window resets? • Usage credits, in money • Counted from either end: what you have used, or what is left • Notifications for a threshold crossed, a reset ahead of schedule, and a session that needs signing in again WIDGETS Small, medium and large Home Screen widgets, and Lock Screen widgets, each on the account you choose. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC One purchase for all three. On iPad: a readable column, every orientation, Split View and Slide Over. On the Mac: a menu bar item, a menu and desktop widgets. Turn on Share accounts with the Mac and your accounts arrive there through your iCloud Keychain — the Mac never signs in. Turn on Wake from Mac and the Mac nudges the phone the moment usage moves. FREE, AND PRO Free is one account with every feature. Pro adds as many accounts as you like, and accounts you already have keep working whatever happens: • AgentHeadroom Pro (Lifetime) — $14.99, paid once • AgentHeadroom Pro (Annual) — $7.99 a year, auto-renewing PRIVACY AgentHeadroom collects nothing. It has no server to collect it with. • Your usage numbers, and nothing else. Your conversations, your prompts and your code are never requested and never seen. • Your sign-in stays on this device, in the iOS Keychain, and never syncs or migrates from a backup. With Share accounts with the Mac on, it is kept in your iCloud Keychain instead — end-to-end encrypted, readable on your devices only, never seen by us — until you turn sharing off. • There is no AgentHeadroom account. No server, no sign-up. Two things go through Apple's iCloud, both yours to switch off: the sign-ins you share, in your iCloud Keychain, and while Wake from Mac is on, a one-line nudge from your Mac in your own iCloud account that says usage moved and carries no reading. • No analytics, no ads, no crash reporter. • Deleting an account erases its session, its readings and its history straight away. • You can check all of this. Point a network proxy at your phone and watch — the only hosts AgentHeadroom ever contacts are the providers whose accounts you added. AgentHeadroom is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any AI provider. Provider names appear only as labels for accounts you added yourself. TERMS Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. AgentHeadroom Pro (Annual) is a $7.99 auto-renewing subscription with a term of one year. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. AgentHeadroom Pro (Lifetime) is a one-time purchase of $14.99 and does not renew.
