Show usage stats for OpenAI Codex and Claude Code, without having to login.

What it solves

CodexBar solves the problem of "AI fatigue" and uncertainty regarding usage limits. Many AI coding tools and LLM providers have complex, varying quotas (e.g., 5-hour windows, weekly limits, or monthly credit caps). This app provides a centralized, real-time dashboard in your menu bar to track these limits, so you know exactly when your access will reset or if you are approaching a spending threshold.

How it works

CodexBar acts as a lightweight observer for your AI services. It does not store your passwords; instead, it securely reuses your existing authentication (such as browser cookies, API keys, or local CLI configurations) to poll usage data. It supports over 100 providers, displaying their status, current usage, and countdowns to the next reset. The app offers a minimalist UI, including a "Merge Icons" mode to save space and optional desktop widgets, with data processing happening locally on your machine.

Who it’s for

This tool is designed for developers and power users who rely on multiple AI coding assistants and LLM APIs daily and need to manage their usage, billing, and rate limits across different platforms without constantly checking individual web dashboards.

Highlights

  • Broad Provider Support: Tracks usage for over 100 AI services, including OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenRouter, and many more.
  • Reset Tracking: Provides clear countdowns for session, weekly, and monthly quota resets.
  • Privacy-First: Reuses existing local sessions and API keys; no passwords are stored, and data is parsed on-device.
  • Flexible UI: Features a compact menu bar interface, support for desktop widgets, and a "Merge Icons" mode to keep your workspace clean.
  • CLI Integration: Includes a command-line interface for scripting, CI/CD integration, and manual cost/usage checks.
