QuotaBar
Read full descriptionHide full description
QuotaBar shows how much of your AI coding quotas you have left — Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and many more — on your iPhone, and in widgets on the home and lock screens. QuotaBar for iPhone is the companion to QuotaBar for Mac, free at quota.bar. The Mac reads each service with the sign-ins already on it and sends only the results — plans, figures, reset times, balances — end-to-end encrypted, through your own iCloud or your Quota Run account. Your sign-ins, tokens and API keys never leave the Mac. • Every provider as a card in stepped meters: what's left or what's used, when it resets, and whether your pace runs out before then • Tap a card for spend by day and model, a 30-day trend and the provider's live service status • Widgets for one provider, an overview of all, or today's spend — small, medium, large and lock screen • Ask your Mac to refresh right from the phone • Drag cards into your own order; copy or share a card as an image • Several Macs merge into one view No ads and no tracking. On the same iCloud account as your Mac, there is nothing to sign in to; on another one, sign in to Quota Run and allow the phone on the Mac. Requires QuotaBar for Mac. Without one, tap “See an example” on the first screen to look around.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CodePad at every 5 days against QuotaBar's every 2 weeks. CodePad also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
