About CodexBar

CodexBar is a free, open-source macOS menu bar app that tracks usage limits, credit balances, spend, and reset countdowns across the AI coding tools you actually pay for — the problem being that anyone running several agent subscriptions has no single place to see how much of each is left before starting a long task. It supports 63 providers, with popular ones promoted to their own status items carrying independent usage windows, reset countdowns, charts, and menus. Coverage spans OAuth-based providers such as Codex, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot device flow; cookie-based ones including Cursor, OpenCode, Amp, Perplexity, Mistral, and T3 Chat; API-key providers such as z.ai, MiniMax, Kilo, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, DeepInfra, Poe, Chutes, Warp, ElevenLabs, and Synthetic; and local sources including Ollama, Zed, JetBrains AI, Kiro CLI, and Devin, with an authoring guide for adding your own. It reports per-provider session, weekly, and monthly windows with countdowns, credit balances and monthly spend where the provider exposes them, and configurable local cost scans estimated from Codex and Claude logs. Provider status polling surfaces incident badges in the menu and an overlay on the bar icon. A bundled CLI binary emits the same usage output for scripts and CI, with standalone macOS and Linux tarballs on every release, and WidgetKit widgets cover usage, history charts, compact credit or cost metrics, a provider switcher, and burn-down against an ideal steady rate. Crucially for security, it reuses existing provider sessions — OAuth, device flow, API keys, browser cookies, local files — so no passwords are stored on disk. Built by Peter Steinberger; MIT licensed; macOS 14+.
