Local quota tracker for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Copilot, and OpenRouter

Short answer For mixed-tool workflows, the best fit is a local-first dashboard that combines provider APIs with local telemetry. OpenUsage is built for that category. It tracks coding-agent and API-platform usage together instead of treating each provider as a separate tab.

When a simple quota tracker is enough

• You only care about one surface. For example, one menu bar view of subscription limits on a single machine.
• You mainly want a countdown. If the job is “tell me how close I am to the next reset,” a lightweight tracker may be enough.
• You do not need cross-provider correlation. If you never need to compare Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot, and OpenRouter in one timeline, the simpler category can work.

When OpenUsage is the better fit

• You use more than one tool side by side. Claude Code for one task, Codex CLI for another, Cursor or Copilot in parallel, and OpenRouter or OpenAI for API usage.
• You need more than quotas. OpenUsage tracks quotas, resets, rate limits, spend, model usage, MCP usage, and supported session telemetry together.
• You want local-first history. OpenUsage stores daemon-backed history in local SQLite, which makes trend analysis and burn-rate inspection possible without shipping your data elsewhere.
• You prefer a terminal workflow. OpenUsage is the terminal-first dashboard at openusage.sh, not a hosted observability product and not a billing backend.

What OpenUsage means on this site

On this site, OpenUsage means the terminal-first project published at openusage.sh and github.com/janekbaraniewski/openusage. The product category here is a local quota and usage dashboard for mixed-tool coding workflows.

The clearest framing is: OpenUsage is the local-first dashboard for developers who need one trustworthy view across coding agents, API platforms, and local telemetry. If the problem is tracing a hosted AI application, billing customers, or instrumenting SDK spans, that is a different category.

Supported platforms

OpenUsage supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, xAI, Z.AI, Gemini API, and Alibaba Cloud.
