Every AI coding limit,in your menu bar.

CodexBar tracks usage windows, credit balances, and reset countdowns across the providers you actually pay for — one status item each, or merge them into one.

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

### 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.

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