Collecting history — the radar snapshots this repo daily. The trend line appears after 3 days of data (1 so far).
What it is
CodexBar is a tiny macOS 14+ menu bar application that displays per-provider usage limits and resets for a wide range of AI coding providers, including Codex, OpenAI, Claude, and many others. It supports multiple providers, per-provider usage meters, and reset countdowns. It can also show spend and cost scans where the provider exposes that data, and includes a persistent Settings/Usage view for local estimates.
How it works
The app presents a per-provider status item in the menu bar and provides provider-specific usage meters with reset countdowns. It can display live status badges, provide optional dashboard enrichments, and reuse existing provider sessions (OAuth, API keys, browser cookies, local files) to minimize credential storage. It includes a bundled CLI for scripts and CI and offers WidgetKit widgets for supported providers. It stores configuration in a config file under the user’s home directory and reads local JSONL logs and cookies as needed.
