54 providers,{mobileBreak}one menu bar

Popular providers become status items with their own usage windows, reset countdowns, charts, and provider menus.

Limits, spend, and status

Resets you can plan around

Per-provider session, weekly, and monthly windows with countdowns to the next reset — no more guessing whether to start a long task.

Credits, spend, and cost scans

Credit balances and monthly spend where the provider exposes them, plus configurable local cost scans for Codex and Claude.

Status & incidents

Provider status polling surfaces incident badges in the menu and an indicator overlay on the bar icon.

CodexBar on CLI

A bundled {codexbar} binary with the same usage output as the menu bar — scripts, CI, and quick terminal checks.

Standalone tarballs for macOS and Linux on every release.

CodexBar reuses existing provider sessions — no passwords stored on disk.

CodexBar widgets

WidgetKit widgets for supported providers — usage windows, reset countdowns, and spend where available. Drop them on your Home Screen and desktop.

Small, medium, and large sizes. Switch providers without leaving the widget.
