Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track OpenRouter usage?
OpenRouter shows credits and recent activity in your account dashboard at openrouter.ai. For always-visible tracking, use OpenRouter Widget: add your OpenRouter Management API key in the app, then place Home Screen widgets to see credits, daily spend, and model breakdowns without opening a browser.
What is the best way to monitor OpenRouter credits?
Check the OpenRouter dashboard for account-wide balances and activity logs. For passive monitoring, OpenRouter Widget pulls the same Management API data and displays it on your iOS Home Screen — credits remaining, usage trends, and per-model costs update when you open the app or on the widget refresh schedule.
How far back can I see OpenRouter usage history?
OpenRouter Widget shows activity for up to the last 30 completed UTC days, matching what OpenRouter exposes through the Management API for your account. It is a rolling window, not an unlimited archive.
Do I need a special API key to track OpenRouter usage?
Yes. OpenRouter Widget uses an OpenRouter Management API key (not a standard inference key). Create one in your OpenRouter account settings, paste it into the app, and it stays in your device secure storage — sent only to OpenRouter over HTTPS.
Is OpenRouter Widget official?
OpenRouter Widget is an independent third-party iOS app built for OpenRouter users. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenRouter. It connects directly to OpenRouter's API using your own key.
How do I add my OpenRouter Management API key?
Open the app, go to the API key flow, and paste a Management API key from your OpenRouter account. The key is stored in your device secure storage and is only sent to OpenRouter over HTTPS. Prefer a dedicated key and rotate it if you think it was exposed.
How do I add widgets to my Home Screen?
On iOS, long-press the Home Screen, tap "+" in the corner, search for "OpenRouter Widget", pick a widget size, then tap Add Widget. You can edit the widget to choose metrics and time range where supported.
Why does my data show a limited time window?
The app aligns with OpenRouter's analytics and activity data. Activity is shown for up to the last 30 completed UTC days, as available from OpenRouter for your account.
My widget is not updating. What should I try?
Open the app once to refresh, check network connectivity, confirm your Management API key is still valid, and try removing and re-adding the widget. iOS may defer background refresh; opening the app usually updates widget timelines.
Do you have access to my API key on your servers?
No. Your Management API key stays on your device in secure storage. Requests go directly from your phone to OpenRouter over HTTPS. This marketing site is separate from that flow.
Is there an Android version?
A Google Play release may follow. Check this site for updates when a Play Store link is available.
