AI Limits is a tiny native Windows 11 floating overlay that shows your AI provider usage limits right on the desktop: Claude, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Google Antigravity. It uses authentication already stored by official CLI tools or credentials added manually by the user, does not refresh CLI tokens, and sends no telemetry. It needs no admin rights, ships statically linked with no extra runtime, and has a low idle resource footprint. A taskbar indicator keeps usage visible even when the overlay is hidden.
