Captured on 9 August 2026 from the synthetic demo fixtures. Every character above is verbatim standard output. No account, credential or real usage figure appears anywhere in it.

When you step away from the desk, the numbers are still on your own disk.

Nothing had to be uploaded to make that true.

What it reads, where it lands

No testimonials, no avatar wall, no user count. Every card below is a connector or a surface that ships in this release.

Claude

Parses the rate limit block Claude Code already hands to your statusline command. It asks nothing of Anthropic on its own.

reads the native statusline payload

OpenRouter

Parses the credits shape OpenRouter documents. The key belongs in your operating system credential store, never in a file.

reads a documented credits response

Codex

Parses the usage shape the Codex tooling produces. The shape is internal, so it can change without notice, and it fails closed when it does.

reads an internal usage payload

Antigravity

Parses the quota shape the Antigravity tooling produces. Internal too, marked as such, and never repaired or rewritten.

reads an internal quota payload

OpenCode

Describes the usage view behind an existing session. It carries the highest automation risk of the six and stops the moment that session expires.

reads a session you already opened

Manual entry

Budgets you maintain by hand, for a self hosted model or any subscription without a connector. It never breaks and never guesses.

Claude Code statusline

One line beside your prompt: the worst meter per provider with a reason code in front. It falls back to the cache and never blocks the tool that called it.

openlimiter statusline

Claude Code prompt hook

A bounded block on prompt submit, fenced in an explicit untrusted data boundary. When every provider is unknown it injects nothing at all.

openlimiter hook

Any shell

The whole snapshot as a table for you or as JSON for a script. No network call, no account, no daemon in the middle.

Any tool that can write a file

One generic command takes a payload for any connector, so a provider without an integration can still be fed from a script you control.

openlimiter ingest

Continuous integration

Export the cache as JSON and assert on it in a pipeline. Every release is tested on Windows and Linux on every push.

The cache is a plain document on your disk with a versioned schema. Read it and build whatever view you want.

Works with your tools

One meter over every subscription you already hold. Each connector reads a shape that something on your machine already wrote, and in this release not one of them touches the network.

Google Antigravity

OpenRouter
and manual entry

Every connector ships marked UNVERIFIED, which is the honest default: no explicit verifier has confirmed a shape against a live account yet. Three of them read interfaces that are internal to somebody else's tooling and can change without notice, and when one does, that provider fails closed to unknown rather than guessing.

Runs where you work

Windows, macOS and Linux, from a terminal, a statusline, a prompt hook or a script, and in any browser through the web app. One local cache, read by whatever you point at it.

These three panels are the real snapshot at phone width, not a mockup of an application. Every provider, meter and percentage in them is parsed from verbatim captured output of the command line tool against synthetic fixtures, which is why each one carries a demo data chip. The same reading opens in a browser in the web app, which installs to a home screen. Native iOS and Android applications are planned and not built.

Web app

live

A browser is the one surface every device already has. This one runs the same engine as the command line tool, on a document you give it, with nothing uploaded and no account anywhere.

The same engine, in the tab

Not a second implementation. The core, the connectors and the adapter are mirrored from the command line tool into the browser bundle, so a reading here and a reading in a terminal cannot disagree.

You hand it the document

Paste or drop what openlimiter export prints. A browser tab cannot read your disk by itself, and nothing is uploaded to make up for that: parsing happens in the tab and no request leaves it.

Installs, and works offline

Add it to a phone or desktop home screen and it opens like an application. A service worker keeps it working with no network at all, because it never needed one.

Open the web appHow to produce a document

Read, bound, hand over

A block injected into a prompt is an injection surface. This one carries enum codes, bounded numbers and timestamps, and it says so about itself in its own opening tag.

Provider text never crosses

Parsers keep known numbers and known timestamps. Labels, messages, account text, markup and unknown fields are discarded before anything reaches policy code, so no provider's prose can become an instruction to your agent.

Enum codes only

The advice engine emits provider codes, reason codes, bounded percentages, freshness codes and timestamps. The adapter validates every one of them again on the way out.

Silence beats a guess

If every provider is unknown, the hook injects nothing at all. It reads the local cache, makes no network request, and exits 0 whatever happens.

Advice, not routing

OpenLimiter tells your agent what is left and what that suggests. It does not switch providers for you, does not bypass a limit, and does not touch how anything authenticates. The decision stays yours.

Fully scriptable

Everything the tool knows, it will print. A table for you, one line for a statusline, a bounded block for an agent, or plain JSON for anything else.

Every block above is verbatim standard output, captured against the project's synthetic fixtures. Add export for the same state as JSON, and doctor when a connector stops parsing.

FAQ

What actually leaves my machine?
Nothing. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no OpenLimiter server to receive anything. This release performs no provider egress at all: every connector is a parser over data that something else already wrote to your disk or piped to standard input.
Is it safe to point at my tools?
OpenLimiter opens what your installed tools already store, read only, and never rewrites, repairs or migrates them. Every parser keeps bounded numbers and timestamps and discards provider text before anything reaches your agent.
Can the prompt hook break my session?
No. The hook reads the local cache, makes no network request, injects nothing when every provider is unknown, and exits 0 whatever happens. The statusline behaves the same way: if input is absent or malformed it falls back to the cache and reports unknown.
Which providers work today?
Six connectors ship: Claude through the native statusline payload, OpenRouter through its documented shape, Codex and Antigravity through internal shapes that may break, OpenCode through an existing session that may break, and manual entry. Every one is marked UNVERIFIED until an explicit verifier exists.
Do I need an API key?
Not to start. The Claude path reads a payload Claude Code already hands your statusline, and the manual path needs nothing at all. OpenRouter is the one connector that expects a key of your own, and that key belongs in your operating system credential store.
Does it route my requests for me?
No, and it is not going to. OpenLimiter provides advice. It does not route requests automatically, does not bypass a limit, and does not touch how your agent authenticates. The decision stays with you.
What happens when a connector breaks?
Unofficial shapes change without notice. When one does, parsing fails closed: that provider returns to unknown, the other providers are unaffected, and nothing invents a number to fill the gap. Unknown never becomes zero.
Is there a desktop or phone app?
The desktop tray application is built and packaged for Windows, macOS and Linux, and every build is attached to the release on GitHub. None of them are code signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper warn the first time you open one, and the download page says how to get past that. On a phone, the web app opens in the browser and installs to a home screen. Native iOS and Android applications are not built, nothing is in a store, and there is no waiting list. The download page lists every platform with its real state.
Is it free?
Everything that runs locally is free and always will be, under Apache 2.0. The only thing that would ever cost money is a hosted service, namely encrypted synchronisation and push alerts, because servers cost money to run. It does not exist, there is no checkout, and no local feature has been withheld to create it.

OpenLimiter is an independent open source project for people who hold several AI coding subscriptions at once and would rather know which one still has room than find out the hard way, mid task.

It is built around three commitments that are easy to state and awkward to keep. If it saves you an afternoon, sponsorship is the best way to keep the connectors working as the shapes underneath them shift. Reporting a connector that broke is worth just as much.

It runs on your machine

Every connector in this release is a parser over something already on your disk. No provider egress, no daemon, no account.

It reports to nobody

No telemetry, no analytics, and no OpenLimiter server for any of it to reach. There is nothing to opt out of.

Unknown stays unknown

A missing number never becomes a confident one. When a shape changes underneath a connector, that provider fails closed.
