## Why Included

macOS menu bar app showing live usage limits and reset countdowns for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and 57+ other AI coding providers, reusing your existing auth — no extra login. Includes a CLI for scripts and CI.

## Source Summary

**The gist** CodexBar by **Peter Steinberger** shows usage limits for **57+ AI coding providers** — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini among them — in the macOS menu bar, with session, weekly, and monthly **reset countdowns** plus provider incident badges. Swift, **macOS 14+**, installed via Homebrew, currently **v0.41.0** at 16.9k stars.

## Practical Implication

**Why it matters** When agent work runs against subscription windows, the reset clock decides when to launch long sessions. The bundled **codexbar CLI** (macOS and Linux builds) exposes the same numbers to scripts, so a harness or CI job can check remaining quota before dispatching heavy work.

**Watch out** It works by reusing local credentials — **browser cookies, OAuth tokens, keychain entries** — and reading Safari cookies wants **Full Disk Access**. The limit endpoints are mostly unofficial, so individual provider integrations can break whenever a vendor changes theirs.
