AI usage widgets for Mac and iPhone.
HOUR5 widgets show reported account capacity and reset times at a glance. Five main layouts serve different tasks, with a separate iPhone Lock Screen accessory. The apps and widgets are in testing ahead of public release.
Choose the view that answers your question
| Layout | Size | Use it to |
|---|---|---|
| Account Rings | Small, medium, large; extra large on Mac | Check two accounts with rings for their reported windows. |
| Wide Account Rings | Medium | Compare four accounts side by side with two windows per donut. |
| Usage Comparison | Small, medium, large; extra large on Mac | Read remaining usage across selected accounts as labeled bars. |
| Reset Schedule | Small, medium, large; extra large on Mac | See upcoming reported resets. |
| Ready Queue | Large | Find accounts with capacity and see their primary reset countdowns. |
What does the five hour timer mean?
Where a provider reports a five hour window, the Ready Queue shows “5h reset” and a countdown to its reported reset time. Other windows keep their own labels. An elapsed timer means check usage again. A missing reset stays “Reset not reported.” The countdown does not mean the widget has fetched a new usage measurement.

Why does a widget say update needed?
Widgets read a locally shared snapshot. They do not carry provider credentials or continuously poll providers. A stale or unavailable reading needs an app refresh. Open HOUR5, check the connection and refresh. Synced data can still depend on the device that originally connected the provider. Learn how device connections and sync differ.
