Description

TinyUsage is a private, open-source Claude and Codex usage companion. A macOS collector gathers quotas, official API usage, and local estimates. Your iPhone receives only normalized snapshots over an encrypted local connection. No backend, cloud database, analytics, or proprietary push. Credentials stay on your Mac. Includes an iPhone dashboard, widgets, and one configurable Live Activity. Your AI limits. In your pocket.
