SessionSense for Android: Real-Time Tracking of Claude and Codex Limits

⚡ The Gist in 5 Seconds - SessionSense, an Android app, has been released: it shows Claude and Codex limits in real time. - The APK can be downloaded directly from the DevxD98/sessionsense-releases repository; it's not on the Play Store. - This is an announcement without independent reviews — if you actively work with Claude or Codex, it's worth checking out yourself. ### 🔍 What Was Found The author published the SessionSense release in the DevxD98/sessionsense-releases repository. The app is free and open source (MIT). It reads usage data directly from claude.ai and chatgpt.com on your phone, without creating a separate account, server, or analytics. SessionSense shows how much is left of the 5-hour window and weekly limit for Claude Pro, Max, or Team, including what Claude Code consumes. For Codex on a ChatGPT plan, it works similarly. Inside, there's a "live" ring for the current session (in the style of Apple Fitness), weekly quotas with a breakdown by Opus and Sonnet, warnings 60, 30, and 10 minutes before a reset or exhaustion, quiet hours, a scheduler with Reserve mode, and history. Three types of widgets can be placed on the home screen: Today, Activity rings, and Session ring. Up to three accounts are supported, with one-tap switching. The app updates itself, checking for new versions at launch and once a day; downloads go over HTTPS with SHA-256 and signature verification. ### 💡 Why It Matters For those who constantly work with Claude and Codex, this is a convenient way to see your limits right on your phone — without opening claude.ai or chatgpt.com. Alerts fire in advance and keep you from hitting a wall, while local history lets you track trends. The privacy angle is also appealing: the developer claims that passwords are not stored, only cookies and tokens encrypted via Android Keystore, and the code is open. That said, without independent testing this should be verified carefully — especially considering the app requires installing an APK from outside the Play Store. ### 🧩 Context SessionSense is distributed outside Google Play: you need to download sessionsense.apk from GitHub and allow installation from unknown sources. Android 8.0 or newer is required. The description lists typical issues: a conflict with an app signed with a different key, disappearing notifications due to aggressive battery optimization, and "Session expired" after a long idle period — in the latter case, simply logging back in is enough. There is also an Update required screen if the API changes and the old version stops working. In-app updates preserve accounts, history, and settings — the data stays on the device.
