Usage Statistics

Since v6.10.0, CLIProxyAPI and CPAMC no longer ship built-in usage statistics. If you need usage statistics, use:

CPA Usage Keeper

Standalone persistence and visualization service for CLIProxyAPI, with periodic data sync, SQLite storage, aggregate APIs, and a built-in dashboard for usage and statistics.

CPA-Manager-Plus

Full CLIProxyAPI management center with request-level monitoring and cost estimates. CPA-Manager tracks collected requests by account, model, channel, latency, status, and token usage; estimates cost with editable model prices and one-click LiteLLM price sync; persists events in SQLite; and provides Codex account-pool operations with batch inspection, quota detection, unhealthy account discovery, cleanup suggestions, and one-click execution for day-to-day multi-account maintenance.

CPA-XXX Panel

A lightweight web admin panel for CLIProxyAPI with health checks, resource monitoring, real-time logs, auto-update, request statistics and pricing display. Supports one-click installation and systemd service.

CLIProxyAPI Tray

A Windows tray application implemented using PowerShell scripts, without relying on any third-party libraries. The main features include: automatic creation of shortcuts, silent running, password management, channel switching (Main / Plus), and automatic downloading and updating.

霖君

霖君 is a cross-platform desktop application for managing AI programming assistants, supporting macOS, Windows, and Linux systems. Unified management of Claude Code, Gemini, OpenAI Codex, and other AI coding tools, with local proxy for multi-account quota tracking and one-click configuration.

CLIProxyAPI Dashboard

A modern web-based management dashboard for CLIProxyAPI built with Next.js, React, and PostgreSQL. Features real-time log streaming, structured configuration editing, API key management, OAuth provider integration for Claude/Gemini/Codex, usage analytics, container management, and config sync with OpenCode via companion plugin - no manual YAML editing needed.

All API Hub

Browser extension for one-stop management of New API-compatible relay site accounts, featuring balance and usage dashboards, auto check-in, one-click key export to common apps, in-page API availability testing, and channel/model sync and redirection. It integrates with CLIProxyAPI through the Management API for one-click provider import and config sync.

Shadow AI

Shadow AI is an AI assistant tool designed specifically for restricted environments. It provides a stealthy operation mode without windows or traces, and enables cross-device AI Q&A interaction and control via the local area network ( LAN). Essentially, it is an automated collaboration layer of "screen/audio capture + AI inference + low-friction delivery", helping users to immersively use AI assistants across applications on controlled devices or in restricted environments.

ProxyPal

Cross-platform desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) wrapping CLIProxyAPI with a native GUI. Connects Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints with usage analytics, request monitoring, and auto-configuration for popular coding tools - no API keys needed.

CLIProxyAPI Quota Inspector

Ready-to-use cross-platform quota inspector for CLIProxyAPI, supporting per-account codex 5h/7d quota windows, plan-based sorting, status coloring, and multi-account summary analytics.

CLIProxy Pool Watch

Native macOS SwiftUI app for monitoring ChatGPT/Codex account quotas in CLIProxyAPI pools. Displays account availability, Plus-base capacity, 5-hour and weekly quota bars, plan weights, and restore forecasts through the Management API.

Panopticon

Multi-agent orchestration for AI coding assistants. Runs CLIProxyAPI as a local sidecar so its agents can drive GPT models through a ChatGPT subscription, pointing Claude Code at an Anthropic-compatible endpoint with no OpenAI API key required.

Tunnel Agent

Windows desktop UI that manages CLIProxyAPI and Perplexity WebUI Scraper from a single interface, inspired by Quotio and VibeProxy. Connect OAuth providers (Claude, Gemini, Codex, Kimi, Antigravity), custom API keys, and Perplexity session accounts, then point any coding agent at the local endpoint.

Quotio Desktop

Cross-platform (Tauri) port of Quotio for Windows, macOS and Linux. Manages a pool of AI accounts (Codex, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Antigravity, Kiro, Cursor, Trae, GLM) through CLIProxyAPI, with per-account 5-hour/weekly quota bars, Codex rate-limit reset credits with one-click reset, smart scheduling, usage statistics, and multi-instance Codex — no API keys needed.

Universal Chat Provider

VS Code extension that brings your Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Antigravity, Grok, and Kimi subscriptions into GitHub Copilot Chat as native language models — and can power your Git commit messages, chat titles, and summaries too. Runs CLIProxyAPI in a fully managed background lifecycle (download, verify, supervise) shared across all windows, so it's zero-setup. No API keys needed, just OAuth.

CPA-Tray-Powershell

A PowerShell-based Windows system tray launcher for CLIProxyAPI. It supports running in the background without a console window, opening the management page, keeping the backend running after the management window closes, and reopening the page from the tray. It also supports checking for CLIProxyAPI updates on startup, SHA-256 verification with rollback, one-click CLIProxyAPI restart and update, PID-validated process management, and safe service shutdown.

Grok Search MCP

An HTTP-only Model Context Protocol server that uses a CLIProxyAPI deployment to provide Grok-powered real-time web search, X/Twitter search, and model discovery to MCP clients. It adds MCP transport, client API-key management, quotas, usage tracking, and a web administration panel.

AIUsage

Native macOS SwiftUI dashboard for AI subscriptions and coding proxies. It manages official CLIProxyAPI releases end to end (download, verify, supervise, update, and roll back), unifies OAuth accounts and live models, and connects one gateway to Codex, Claude Code/Science, OpenCode, or OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini clients, with optional LAN access.

Claude Dialects

Run multiple native-feeling Claude Code commands, each powered by a different model (Codex, GLM, Kimi, Gemini, Grok, MiniMax, DeepSeek, Cursor, Copilot, Claude). Every dialect launches the real Claude Code interface with its own isolated config, history, ports, and an embedded CLIProxyAPI instance linked through the Go SDK — no separate proxy install. macOS only.
