I built an Android app that warns me before I run out of OpenRouter credits (BYOK, no account)

Disclosure: I made this. The problem: I run a few small things on OpenRouter and kept getting surprised — either by a 402 mid-workflow, or by a bill I hadn't watched. The web dashboard is good, but I never open it. So I built the version that lives in my pocket. What it does: balance + % remaining, and spend for today / last 7 days / this month a low-balance notification , so it tells me before something breaks instead of after a local spend trend with a projected month-end o

痛点：使用 OpenRouter 的开发者常在流程中途被 402 报错或意外账单搞个措手不及，网页 dashboard 又懒得打开，缺少随手可查、能提前预警余额的移动端工具。

目标用户：在 OpenRouter 上跑小项目/工作流的独立开发者与 AI 应用开发者（BYOK 用户）

证据：The problem: I run a few small things on OpenRouter and kept getting surprised — either by a 402 mid-workflow, or by a bill I hadn't watched. The web dashboard is good, but I never open it. Free and ad-supported; a one-time purchase removes the ads.

变现：免费+广告，内购一次性去广告；后续可加订阅解锁多 provider 聚合、团队共享告警、Slack/Discord webhook 等高级功能

MVP：2 周内做一个移动端（或 PWA/Telegram Bot）余额与支出监控器：本地加密存储 API key，轮询余额，余额低于阈值时推送通知，展示今日/7 日/本月消费与月末预测；这几乎是现成方案的精简版

竞品：OpenRouter 官方 web dashboard、OpenRouter 自身的 usage/credits API 与告警、各类通用 API 成本监控工具（如 Helicone、Langfuse 的成本面板）

摘要：一位独立开发者在 r/SideProject 发布了一款 Android 应用，用于监控 OpenRouter 余额与支出，解决自己屡次被 402 中断或账单惊吓的痛点。应用采用 BYOK、本地 Keystore 加密、无需账号，免费+广告并支持一次性购买去广告，但帖子未披露任何下载量或收入数据，付费意愿证据薄弱。整体是个真实但狭窄的细分需求，技术门槛低，独立开发者可快速复制或做垂直扩展。
