CodexUsageBar

CodexUsageBar delivers real-time tracking of your usage limits directly from your macOS menu bar. This open-source app ensures you never unexpectedly hit your rate limits, providing a clear overview of your consumption. Key features include: menu bar native interface, configurable usage notifications, live service status, and robust privacy. It is meticulously designed to be lightweight and efficient, running natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with minimal resource consumption. The app securely retrieves usage data locally using your existing Codex CLI session, ensuring that all sensitive information remains on your device. Smart notifications alert you at customizable thresholds (25%, 50%, 75%, 90%) before you reach your limits, while a color-coded indicator provides real-time status of OpenAI services. This helps you stay informed about the operational status of Codex, the VS Code extension, or ChatGPT itself. Committed to user privacy, CodexUsageBar operates without any data collection or analytics. This tool is ideal for developers, writers, and anyone extensively using Codex for code generation or content creation who needs to monitor their API usage efficiently. Its open-source nature invites community contributions and offers complete transparency, making it a reliable utility for managing your daily usage.
