Peras Launches Usage Guard for Claude Code, Codex

Peras targets a painfully practical failure mode in agentic development: letting one runaway task consume an entire week’s allowance.

• –Hooks enforce configurable weekly, prompt, pace, and time-based thresholds
• –Local-only architecture keeps usage data, rules, and history on the developer’s machine
• –Usage-aware prompts can tell agents how much budget remains, helping them prioritize unfinished work
• –The guard is a useful safety net, but stale readings, in-flight requests, and unsupported API-key sessions limit its guarantees
• –Free open-source CLI coverage makes the paid menu bar app an optional convenience rather than a required dependency
