Hit your AI limit halfway through a task? UsageNow shows how much of each AI plan you have left and exactly when it resets, right on your Home Screen, and warns you before you run out. Built for developers who code with AI agents every day. EVERY LIMIT AT A GLANCE Claude: the 5-hour session and weekly limits, including per-model weekly caps ChatGPT Codex: the 5-hour and weekly windows GitHub Copilot: premium requests, chat and code completions Gemini: daily request quotas for each model A live countdown to every reset, plus the exact reset time in your local format ALERTS BEFORE YOU HIT THE WALL Make your own alerts: choose the 5-hour limit, the weekly limit or all limits, then type the percentage that matters to you, like 90 or 98. Add as many as you like. Each alert comes once per limit and cycle, so your lock screen stays quiet. Turn on a reset alert to know the moment a limit is back. WIDGETS THAT DO MORE Flip through all of your accounts right on the widget Tap to refresh a widget whenever you want the latest numbers Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets in every size, plus Apple Watch complications ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS, IN YOUR ORDER Work and personal, Pro and Max, side by side. Sort by 5-hour reset, weekly reset, highest or lowest usage, name or service, or drag accounts into your own order. EVERYWHERE YOU WORK iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. PRIVATE BY DESIGN You sign in on each service's own login page. Your sign-in stays in your device's Keychain, and UsageNow talks only to the services themselves. There is no UsageNow server, no account to create and no tracking. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully translated into 50 languages, with dates and times written the way your region writes them. Pick a language in Settings anytime. TRY EVERYTHING FIRST Start a free 24-hour trial in the app and use every feature, widgets included; nothing is charged. Before and after the trial, one account's current usage is free in the app, and UsageNow Pro unlocks more accounts, widgets, Apple Watch and alerts with a single one-time purchase. No subscription. UsageNow is an independent app and is not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub, Microsoft or Google. Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Gemini are trademarks of their respective owners. Questions or ideas? hourstag.app@gmail.com Optimized for iPhone Duo. Unfold it and use it in landscape, and the inner display switches to a two-column layout made for the extra space, instead of a stretched-out phone screen. Fold it back and the app carries on in its single-column layout on the outer display.
