Peras by Vertias

Peras by Vertias is a desktop utility that monitors AI plan usage and pauses agents at set limits.

Peras monitors Claude Pro and Max or ChatGPT plan usage to help users manage their limits effectively. It tracks 5-hour usage and weekly bars, offering a pause button for Claude Code and Codex separately. Users can set limits where the agent either sends a notification, waits for approval, or stops the turn entirely. The tool runs locally with no dependencies and includes a CLI and SwiftBar menu integration. Everything stays on the local machine for privacy.
