AI Quota Usage Meter

Privacy Policy

Last updated 30 July 2026.

AI Quota does not collect data. There is no AI Quota account, no AI Quota server, and no analytics of any kind. This policy explains what that means in practice, and what the app does with the credentials you give it.

What we collect

Nothing. The developer receives no information about you or your usage from this app. The App Store privacy answer for AI Quota is "Data Not Collected", and there is no code in the app that would make that untrue — no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no advertising identifier, no remote logging.

Credentials you connect

To read your limits, AI Quota needs permission to ask each service about your account. Depending on the service that is an OAuth token, a session token, or a personal access token that you supply.

  • Credentials are stored in your device's Keychain, marked so that they are available only on that device and never synchronised to iCloud Keychain.
  • They are used for exactly one purpose: making the usage request to the service they belong to.
  • They are never sent to the developer or to any third party, because there is nowhere else for them to go.
  • Removing an account deletes its credentials from the Keychain immediately.

AI Quota only ever reads

The app makes one kind of request to each service: a read of your own usage figures. It has no code that can send a prompt, start a completion, or spend an allowance.

We tried to enforce that at the permission level too, by requesting only profile access when you sign in to Claude. Anthropic's sign-in page refuses that narrower request, so the sign-in uses the same permissions the official Claude Code tool does. We would rather tell you that plainly than describe a restriction the app does not actually have. The token is kept in your device's Keychain, marked never to sync to iCloud, and is sent to nobody but Anthropic.

Network connections

The app connects only to the services you have connected, in order to read your usage:

  • Anthropic, for Claude subscription limits.
  • OpenAI, for Codex limits on your ChatGPT plan.
  • GitHub, for Copilot premium request usage.

Those services see the requests your device makes, and handle them under their own privacy policies. AI Quota adds no intermediary.

Data stored on your device

AI Quota keeps a small amount of state so widgets can render without waiting for the network: your account names, the most recent usage figures, and a daily record of activity used for the heatmap and streaks. This lives in the app's own container, shared with its widgets and watch app.

Reading local logs on macOS

The Mac app starts with local token-log reading enabled and preselects the standard folders that Claude Code and Codex already use. A sandboxed App Store build cannot read either folder until you grant access through the standard macOS file picker. The contents are summarised into daily totals on your machine, nothing from those files is transmitted anywhere, and the feature can be turned off in Settings.

iCloud sync

If you use AI Quota on more than one device, your account list, preferences and activity history sync through your own private iCloud database, which is governed by your iCloud account and visible only to you. Credentials are excluded from sync by design — each device is authorised once, separately. Current provider responses, local log paths and bookmarks, notification settings, and device-specific menu preferences are also excluded.

Children

AI Quota is a developer utility and is not directed at children. It collects no data from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published here with a new date. Because the app collects nothing, changes are expected to be clarifications rather than material differences.
