Android widget · desktop companion
Your AI usage limits, at a glance.
Meterkat shows how much of your Claude and Codex usage limits you have used, right on your home screen and in a quiet notification. A small companion on your computer reads the numbers from the tools you're already signed in to. They reach your phone end-to-end encrypted.
Free. No account, no ads, no tracking.
Widget and notification
5-hour and weekly limits as bars, with reset times. Switch between used and remaining. The notification stays quiet and stays put until you turn it off in the app.
End-to-end encrypted
Your computer encrypts every update before it leaves. The relay in between only passes on data it cannot read. The key travels in the QR code, never through the relay.
No account, no passwords
Meterkat never sees your Claude, ChatGPT or Google sign-in. It asks the official command-line tools for the same usage report they show you.
Join the closed beta
Meterkat is in a closed test on Google Play before it goes public. Testers get the app free from the Play Store, like any other app. It takes about two minutes.
Join the tester group
Use the Google account that is signed in to the Play Store on your phone.
Become a tester
Open the opt-in page with the same account and tap Become a tester.
Install and pair
Install Meterkat from Google Play (the link works once you have opted in), then download the companion and pair with one QR scan.
Please stay in the test for at least 14 days: Google only lets the app go public after a closed test with enough testers over that time. Feedback and bug reports are welcome at the address on the support page or privately from the app's Play Store page.
How it works
Install the companion
Run it on the computer where Claude Code or the Codex CLI is signed in. It checks your limits about once a minute.
Pair your phone
The companion shows a QR code. Open it with Meterkat on your phone. Codes work once and expire after five minutes.
Glance
Add the widget or turn on the notification. Android refreshes it roughly every 15 minutes, or when you tap refresh.
Download the companion
Single-file programs with no installer and no administrator rights. They update themselves from GitHub; you can turn that off.
| System | File |
|---|---|
| Windows 10/11 (x64) | meterkat-companion-1.5.0-windows-x64.exe |
| Linux x64 (glibc 2.28+) | meterkat-companion-1.5.0-linux-x64.tar.gz |
| Linux arm64 (glibc 2.28+) | meterkat-companion-1.5.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz |
All releases on GitHub Setup help
Then run meterkat setup in a terminal (Windows: .\meterkat-companion-1.5.0-windows-x64.exe setup). Setup finds your AI tools, installs itself for your user, asks whether to start with your computer and shows the pairing QR code.
The Windows build is not code-signed yet. If SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC", choose More info → Run anyway. Each release has signed SHA-256 checksums (SHA256SUMS, how to verify). The companion is open source under the MIT licence (source code). Using the hosted relay is subject to the terms of use.
What you need
- An Android phone with Android 8 or later.
- A Windows or Linux computer with Claude Code, the Codex CLI and/or the Antigravity CLI installed and signed in with a subscription plan.
- An internet connection on both. The computer has to be on for the numbers to update.
Antigravity needs agy 1.1.11 or newer. macOS is not supported yet.
