AI Karma Tracker launches Chrome extension for multi-tool usage limits

AI Karma Tracker is a new Chrome extension designed to give users unified visibility into their usage limits and reset times across multiple AI platforms. The core insight is that many developers, researchers, and AI enthusiasts now rely on a mix of tools—Claude for complex reasoning, ChatGPT for general queries, Codex or Cursor for code generation, Grok for real-time data, and Perplexity for research—each with its own rate-limit windows and reset schedules. Previously, users had no easy way to see all these limits in one place; the extension fills that gap by reading live session data directly from your browser.

The dashboard works without API keys, instead monitoring your existing logged-in sessions. For each supported tool, it displays live remaining tokens or messages, exact reset times (for example, Claude's 5-hour and weekly windows, ChatGPT's per-feature caps for research and image generation, or Cursor's monthly fast-request quota), and alerts before you hit the wall. The extension also highlights "peak hours," periods when shared capacity is tight, so you can schedule heavy workloads outside those windows. All data is stored locally in your browser; nothing is sent to the creators' servers, ensuring privacy. The extension supports Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok, and Perplexity, with more integrations planned.

Pricing starts free, tracking one AI tool of your choice. The Hobbyist plan ($2/mo, billed monthly) unlocks tracking for all six providers, usage history charts, and Telegram alerts. The Expert plan ($5/mo) adds extended history retention, priority access to new integrations, and early-access to new features. Payments are handled securely through Gumroad, and users can cancel anytime. The product is available as a Chrome extension to install immediately.

AI Karma Tracker addresses a growing frustration for power users of multiple AI platforms: fragmented rate-limit visibility. As developers and researchers increasingly rely on different tools for different tasks—Claude for reasoning, ChatGPT for breadth, Cursor for coding, Perplexity for research—each platform manages its own limits independently. Previously, users had to monitor each service separately or keep manual records; hitting a limit mid-task meant interruption or context-switching. The extension consolidates this visibility into a single browser popup, displaying live remaining usage, reset times, and "peak hours" alerts when shared capacity tightens. By running locally in the browser and reading from existing sessions, the product avoids the friction of API key management, which is a common adoption barrier for browser-based utilities. The freemium pricing model (free for one tool, $2/mo for all six) aligns with the target audience: casual users can spot-check one platform, while power users who genuinely coordinate across six tools pay a small monthly fee.
