About Codex Bar

CodexBar is an open source utility for macOS 14+ and Linux that displays usage statistics for AI coding providers including OpenAI Codex and Claude Code directly in the system menu bar or desktop, without requiring a separate app login. It tracks per-provider session, weekly, and monthly usage limits with countdowns to resets, along with credit balances, spend data, and live provider status indicators. The tool reuses existing provider authentication sessions such as OAuth, API keys, browser cookies, or local app files, so no passwords are stored by CodexBar. It is available via Homebrew, release tarballs, and an AUR package for Linux, with an optional Omarchy desktop widget.
