## 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.
