CodexBar

CodexBar 🎚️ — May your tokens never run out.
Every AI coding limit, in your menu bar.

Tiny macOS 14+ menu bar app that keeps AI coding-provider limits visible and shows when each window resets. See the supported providers below. One status item per provider, or Merge Icons mode with a provider switcher. No Dock icon, minimal UI, dynamic bar icons.

Also available as a Linux desktop app with usage and spending windows, separate settings, desktop notifications, and an optional tray icon. On Omarchy, a native bar widget shares the desktop app’s data and follows your theme.

Why

- Plan around resets. Per-provider session, weekly, and monthly windows with countdowns to the next reset — stop guessing whether to start that long task.
- Credits, spend, and cost scans. Credit balances, Admin API spend dashboards, provider billing summaries, and local cost scans where the source exposes enough detail.
- Live status. Provider status polling surfaces incident badges in the menu and an indicator overlay on the bar icon.
- Privacy-first. Reuses existing provider sessions — OAuth, device flow, API keys, browser cookies, local files — so no passwords are stored.

Install

macOS app

Requires macOS 14+ (Sonoma). Download from GitHub Releases, or install with Homebrew:

Linux desktop and Omarchy

The Qt 6 desktop app supports Wayland and X11, with an optional Omarchy widget.
Published desktop archives target x86_64 and ARM64 and require glibc 2.39+,
Qt 6.4+, and a separately installed CodexBar CLI. Python 3 runs the per-user installer.

Follow the Linux installation guide
for Arch/Omarchy, Fedora, and Debian/Ubuntu runtime packages, verified release
downloads, and upgrades. It keeps the CLI's resource bundle beside its executable
and installs a launcher and optional login startup.…
