Track Cursor usage across providers
Cursor plan usage is useful, but it is rarely the whole picture. The real workflow usually includes Cursor plus Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot, OpenRouter, OpenAI, or Anthropic in parallel.
Short answer Use a local-first dashboard that treats Cursor as one important part of a broader stack. OpenUsage.sh fits that category. It is designed for people who need one local view across more than one coding agent or provider.
Why Cursor-only views are incomplete
- Cursor does not explain the whole stack. The usage spike might come from Cursor, but it might also come from Claude Code, Codex CLI, or the underlying API platforms.
- Comparisons matter. You often need to decide which tool is burning budget or getting close to a limit.
- History matters. Live plan usage is helpful, but trend context is better.
Why OpenUsage.sh fits the Cursor workflow
- One local dashboard. Cursor sits beside other coding agents and API platforms instead of being isolated.
- Broader data shape. The dashboard can include quotas, resets, rate limits, spend, model usage, and local history.
- Terminal-first and local-first. The product stays close to the actual tools and data rather than requiring a hosted backend.
