CodexUsageBar
Track your ChatGPT Codex usage limits from the Mac menu bar
Free, open-source macOS menu bar app that tracks your ChatGPT Codex usage limits in real time. Get notifications before hitting your limit. Lightweight, private, and native.
Hey hunters 👋
After ClaudeUsageBar.com reached #1 Product of the Day on PH, I've decided to replicate the same for ChatGPT / Codex
What it does:
- Session & weekly usage bars in your menu bar, refreshed every 5 min
- Notifications at 25/50/75/90% so you can wrap up before hitting the wall
- Per-model limits and credits appear automatically when you use them
- Live OpenAI status for the services you pick (Codex, VS Code extension, Login…)
- Zero config: it reads your existing `codex login`. No cookies, no API keys
Free, open source, signed & notarized. No analytics, nothing leaves your Mac.
Would love your feedback, especially what else you'd want tracked!
Tracking Codex usage limits right from the menu bar is such a practical little tool — easy to blow through limits without realizing it otherwise. Does it just show remaining usage, or does it also warn you before you're about to hit the cap?
Do the notifications actually pop up before you hit the limit or do they show up in the menu bar? Asking because I'd need them to alert me before I'm already maxed out.
