Intro

CodexBar is a macOS menu bar app to view Codex/Claude usage stats without logging in constantly; install via Homebrew cask (12,131★).

Best for: macOS users who want a lightweight “are we burning quota?” signal while using Codex/Claude coding tools

Works with: macOS + Homebrew; designed for developers using Codex and Claude Code day-to-day

Setup time: 2-5 minutes

Main

  • Always-on telemetry: menu bar placement makes usage visible without context switching.
  • Fast install: Homebrew cask install keeps setup to a few commands.
  • Dev UX focus: targets the practical pain of checking usage repeatedly during long agent sessions.
  • Good pairing: works well alongside CLI agents because it is passive monitoring, not another agent runtime.

FAQ

  • Is it CLI or GUI?: Primarily a menu bar GUI app; README also shows a brew formula for a CLI tool.
  • Who benefits most?: Heavy Codex/Claude Code users who check quota multiple times per day.
  • What is the minimal setup?: Install the cask and launch the app once to start seeing stats.
