Keep track of your AI limits before they interrupt your flow. AI Usage brings your connected AI accounts into one dashboard, so you can see your remaining allowance, check upcoming resets, and plan your next session. Connect Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Grok, and Gemini CLI to keep your usage in view. β€’ Your usage at a glance: See usage, remaining allowance, and available limits for each connected provider. β€’ Reset countdowns: Check when your allowance is expected to refresh. β€’ Home Screen widgets: Follow all your connected providers together, or focus on one. β€’ Usage history and forecasts: Explore readings saved on your device and estimate how long your allowance may last based on recent activity. β€’ Optional reminders: Choose alerts at 75%, 90%, or 95% usage, plus reminders for expected resets. Your usage history stays on your device, and sign-in credentials are stored securely. Disconnecting a provider removes its saved session, history, and reminders from the app. Whether you’re coding, researching, or creating, AI Usage helps you decide when to keep going, switch tools, or take a break. Requires an account with a supported provider. Available usage details vary by provider and plan. Gemini support tracks Gemini CLI allowance. Refresh timing depends on provider availability and your device; forecasts and reset times are estimates. AI Usage is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the supported providers.

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.
