The tool features a user-friendly interface where a pear icon sits next to the clock, displaying each agent's 5-hour usage. Users can click on it to view weekly usage bars, reset windows, and pause buttons for Claude Code and Codex separately. The tool offers flexibility with notifications and allows users to decide which alerts they receive.
Peras provides a comprehensive view of usage, including daily tracking and weekly charts that show observed usage, remaining allowance, and any recording gaps. It supports both desktop and CLI usage, with commands available for managing Codex as well. The tool ensures that all data stays on the user's machine, with no product telemetry or account requirements.
The optional macOS app supports macOS 13 or later and requires Node 18+. It is compatible with both Apple silicon and Intel architectures, although testing has primarily been conducted on Apple silicon. Users can install the CLI globally or use npx for command execution. The tool maintains separate usage limits for Claude Code and Codex, ensuring that each agent's usage is tracked independently.
