OpenLimiter puts AI quota limits where your coding agents can see them

openlimiter.com ↗ · Developer Corner · score 84.0
Open: public page gives enough substance to understand the site $Paid: pricing, booking, ecommerce, subscription, or paid access is visible ADAds: visible ad load or ad-supported content Pretty: notable design, copy, craft, or presentation Pro: polished, finished-feeling, serious, or operationally mature Niche: specific audience, workflow, or unusually focused use case Human: personal, local, community, civic, handmade, or real-person signal !Suspicious: scammy, spammy, trust theater, finance fog, or credibility concern

An open-source, local-first tool that reads quota and usage data from AI coding tools, displays it in a statusline, and passes bounded budget information to agents.

Why it surfaced

OpenLimiter treats subscription quotas as infrastructure: it supports six connectors, emits scriptable statusline and hook output, and keeps the numbers on the user's machine. The project is unusually candid about its edges too—some payloads are internal, desktop builds are not code-signed, and one connector stops when its existing session expires.

Explicit Chemistry, Side A

August 9’s newborn domains include a wedding pressed into a playable record, an AI journal built across 62 memoryless sessions, 127,861 volunteer-verified license-plate-reader reports, and an eight-foot beach-wedding cross engineered for Gulf Coast wind.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-09 Domain Arrivals issue.
