JaugeAI for iPhone and Apple Watch requires JaugeAI for Mac, a free app: your Mac reads the usage limits of your AI subscription, and your iPhone and Apple Watch display them. You need Claude Code on that Mac, with a Claude Pro or Max plan: its limits cover your whole account, chats included, on all your devices. With Codex or Google's Antigravity CLI, it also shows the limits of your ChatGPT plan (Codex) and Google plan (Gemini). Keep the Mac awake and signed in to the same iCloud account: your iPhone and Apple Watch show its latest reading, with the time. The link to JaugeAI for Mac is in the app. Your limits β€’ The 5-hour session, the all-models week and a model's week, with the exact reset time. β€’ Up top, the limit of your choice, or automatically the one that will block you first. β€’ Three concentric rings, one per limit, the same everywhere. With Pro: five card layouts, your colors and the Light, the rings' tips lit in dark mode. β€’ Your pace: β€œAt this pace, 100% around 4:40 PM, 2 h before the reset.” β€’ Extra usage and how the week splits. Live session and compaction coach The project, the model, the context size and the estimated cost at API prices. In a long Claude Code session, the coach tells you when to run /compact. Advice and goal β€’ Advice drawn from your actual usage: context, cache, the right model for the task, your plan and service, each with its basis and gain. β€’ A savings journal: what your new habits save, week after week. β€’ A weekly goal, with what you have left per day. β€’ Your 5-hour windows. Value, history and report β€’ Subscription value: what your Claude Code activity would have cost at API prices, over 1 to 90 days and per project, next to the price of your plan. β€’ Up to 90 days of history, a calendar of rings and a recap of each week, to share as an image. β€’ A monthly PDF report. Without opening the app β€’ Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: the limit of your choice with its rings, the calendar of rings, the 5-hour sessions you have left this week, subscription value, the tip of the moment. β€’ One setting picks the service shown everywhere: yours, or the one closest to its limit. β€’ On Apple Watch, free: four layouts at the turn of the crown, and the Light. With Pro: complications, the Smart Stack, tips and goal. β€’ Live Activity: the session countdown in the Dynamic Island, on the Lock Screen and in StandBy. Above 80%, it starts when you open the app. β€’ A control for Control Center and the Action button. β€’ Siri and Shortcuts: β€œHow is my session in JaugeAI?” and a service's usage as a percentage for your automations. β€’ Notifications: a threshold crossed, a predicted run-out 30 minutes ahead, resets, the weekly recap, the compaction coach. JaugeAI Pro Seven days to try everything, nothing to pay or cancel. Then a one-time purchase for iPhone and Apple Watch, with Family Sharing. It adds widgets, complications, colors, the Light and card layouts on iPhone, the Live Activity, history and recaps, advice, the savings journal, the weekly goal, 5-hour windows, subscription value and the PDF report. Without it: limits, the limit up top of your choice, the classic card, the whole Apple Watch app, rings, pace, the live session, the compaction coach, notifications, Siri, Shortcuts and Control Center. Privacy The Mac reads your limits and Claude Code's local files without changing anything, and shares only its results (percentages, estimates, project and model names), through your private iCloud: no password, no login credentials, no conversation content. JaugeAI has no server and collects no data. JaugeAI is independent software, neither affiliated with nor endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI or Google. Claude and Claude Code are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC; ChatGPT and Codex are trademarks of OpenAI; Gemini and Antigravity, of Google LLC. Costs are estimates based on public API pricing.
