About CLI Pulse
CLI Pulse keeps track of your AI coding tools: how much of each quota you have used, when it resets and what your usage is costing you. It works with Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, OpenRouter, Ollama and dozens of other providers, on your Mac and on your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. On your Mac - Your providers' quotas and reset times, one click away in the menu bar - Pace: whether your quota will last until it resets, or when it will run out - Estimated cost from your Claude Code and Codex logs, calculated on your Mac - Usage history for each provider, an activity heatmap and a cost forecast - Active and recent sessions by project, with usage and estimated cost - Alerts when a quota crosses a threshold you choose and, when you are signed in, when your daily cost suddenly jumps - Cost reports you can export as CSV or PDF - Pulse Cat, an optional desktop cat whose vitals follow your real AI usage - No account needed: in local mode your usage stays on this Mac On iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch - The same quotas, costs, sessions and alerts, synced from your Mac - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets (Pro) - Siri and Shortcuts: ask for today's status or for one provider's remaining quota - Apple Watch: quota rings, alerts and sessions on your wrist The iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps show what CLI Pulse collects on your Mac. Install it on your Mac and sign in with the same account on each device. Try Demo shows the app with sample data before you connect a Mac.

What’s new
Version 1.59.1 · Updated October 29, 2026
For Codex accounts whose main limit is the weekly or 30-day one, the pace line now covers that whole window. • Codex: when the limit shown first on the card is the weekly or 30-day one, the pace line on the Providers tab and on Apple Watch is now based on that window's length. In the last 5 hours before the reset, it used to be based on 5 hours and could say the limit would run out within minutes.
