Account & Billing

Your simse account ties together your CLI instances, web app access, API keys, and billing. Manage everything from the web app at simse.dev.

Creating an account

Sign in at simse.dev — simse is passwordless. Choose Continue with Google for single sign-on, or enter your email to receive a magic link that signs you in. There is no password to set or remember. You can also sign in directly from the CLI:

simse login

The CLI opens your browser to the same passwordless flow. If you do not have an account yet, signing in for the first time creates one automatically.

Account types

• Individual — Your personal account for using simse from the CLI and the web app. Consumer plans (Free / Pro) are billed here.
• Platform — For programmatic access to api.simse.dev. Platform accounts hold your API keys and are billed for usage-based API consumption, separate from the consumer plans.

Device management

Every device where you sign in creates an active session. View and manage these from Settings > Devices:

• See all active sessions with device name, location, and last active time.
• Revoke a session to immediately sign out a specific device.
• Revoking a session does not remove the CLI remote — it only ends the authenticated session on that device.

API keys

API keys let you authenticate programmatically against api.simse.dev — for scripts, CI pipelines, or custom integrations. They belong to your platform account.

• Create keys from the API keys page in the developer console.
• Each key has a name and creation date for easy identification.
• List all active keys and see when they were last used.
• Delete keys you no longer need. Deletion is immediate and permanent.
• You can create up to 25 API keys per account.

Keep your API keys secret. If you suspect a key has been compromised, delete it immediately and create a new one.

Billing and plans

Manage your subscription and payment method from Settings > Billing:

• Plans — Choose the plan that fits your usage. Plans differ in token limits and feature access.
• Credits — Your account balance is shown on the billing page. Credits are consumed as you use simse.
• Payment method — Add or update your credit card on the billing page.

API usage on api.simse.dev is metered separately from your consumer plan and billed per token against your platform account. Track it on the Usage page.

Usage tracking

The Usage page gives you visibility into your consumption:

• Token consumption — See how many tokens you have used across all sessions and remotes.
• 7-day history — A rolling chart showing daily token usage over the past week.
• Monthly limits — Track your usage against your plan's monthly token allowance.
• Usage data updates in near real-time, so you always know where you stand.

You can also see a quick usage summary on the dashboard without navigating to the full usage page.
