What it does

Your Codex usage at a glance

Built for people who actively use Codex and want the current state visible with as little friction as possible.

01

At-a-glance preview

See remaining 5-hour and 7-day capacity plus credits directly from the menu bar badge.

02

Automatic refresh

The app refreshes usage automatically and can also be refreshed manually from the detailed popup.

03

Reset alerts

Optional sounds let you notice when the short window or weekly window resets.

04

Local-first data

Codex Limits reads local Codex session logs from your Mac and does not require a separate backend account.

How it works

  • Runs as a lightweight menu bar app
  • Reads Codex session snapshots from the hidden ~/.codex folder
  • Asks for folder access once when needed for the sandboxed Mac App Store version
  • Stores only the folder bookmark locally on your Mac
