Tiny macOS 14+ menu bar app that keeps **AI coding-provider limits visible** and shows when each window resets. Codex, OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Copilot, Grok, GroqCloud, ElevenLabs, Deepgram, z.ai, MiniMax, Kiro, Vertex AI, Augment, OpenRouter, LLM Proxy, Codebuff, Command Code, AWS Bedrock, and many newer coding providers. One status item per provider, or Merge Icons mode with a provider switcher. No Dock icon, minimal UI, dynamic bar icons.

## Why

- **Plan around resets.** Per-provider session, weekly, and monthly windows with countdowns to the next reset — stop guessing whether to start that long task.
- **Credits, spend, and cost scans.** Credit balances, Admin API spend dashboards, provider billing summaries, and local cost scans where the source exposes enough detail.
- **Live status.** Provider status polling surfaces incident badges in the menu and an indicator overlay on the bar icon.
- **Privacy-first.** Reuses existing provider sessions — OAuth, device flow, API keys, browser cookies, local files — so no passwords are stored.

## Install

### Requirements
- macOS 14+ (Sonoma)

### GitHub Releases
Download: <https://github.com/steipete/CodexBar/releases>

### Homebrew
```bash
brew install --cask codexbar
```

### CLI Tarballs (macOS/Linux)
Homebrew formula (Linux today):
```bash
brew install steipete/tap/codexbar
```
Arch Linux AUR package:
```bash
yay -S codexbar-cli
```
Or download release tarballs from GitHub Releases:
- macOS: `CodexBarCLI-v<tag>-macos-arm64.tar.gz`, `CodexBarCLI-v<tag>-macos-x86_64.tar.gz`
- Linux: `CodexBarCLI-v<tag>-linux-aarch64.tar.gz`, `CodexBarCLI-v<tag>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz`

### First run
- Open Settings → Providers and enable what you use.
- Install/sign in to the provider sources you rely on: CLIs, browser sessions, OAuth/device flow, API keys, local app files, or provider apps depending on the provider.
- Optional: Settings → Providers → Codex → OpenAI cookies (Automatic or Manual) to add dashboard extras.

### Set API keys from the CLI
Provider toggles and API keys live in `~/.codexbar/config.json`. You can script the same provider list that Settings → Providers uses:

```bash
codexbar config providers
codexbar config enable --provider grok
codexbar config disable --provider cursor
```

For API-key providers, store a key without opening Settings:

```bash
printf '%s' "$ELEVENLABS_API_KEY" | codexbar config set-api-key --provider elevenlabs --stdin
```

`set-api-key` trims the piped value, stores it with restrictive config-file permissions, and enables the provider by default. Use `--no-enable` to only save the key, or `--api-key <key>` for one-off local scripts where shell history is not a concern.
See [CLI configuration](docs/cli-configuration.md) for the full flow.

## Icon & Screenshot
The menu bar icon is a tiny usage meter. Bar meaning is provider-specific, and errors/stale data can dim the icon or
show an incident indicator.

## Features
- Multi-provider menu bar with per-provider toggles (Settings → Providers).
- Provider-specific usage meters with reset countdowns.
- Optional Codex web dashboard enrichments (code review remaining, usage breakdown, credits history).
- Inline spend and usage charts for API-backed providers such as OpenAI, Claude Admin API, OpenRouter, z.ai, MiniMax, Mistral, and AWS Bedrock.
- Configurable cost-usage scans for Codex + Claude, plus reused chart UI for supported provider histories.
- Provider status polling with incident badges in the menu and icon overlay.
- Merge Icons mode to combine providers into one status item + switcher.
- Display controls for provider icons, labels, bars, reset-time style, and highest-usage auto-selection.
- Refresh cadence presets (manual, 1m, 2m, 5m, 15m).
- Bundled CLI (`codexbar`) for scripts and CI (including `codexbar cost --provider codex`, `claude`, or `both` for local cost usage); macOS and Linux CLI builds available.
- WidgetKit widgets for supported providers.
- Optional session quota notifications and weekly-reset confetti.
- Privacy-first: on-device parsing by default; browser cookies are opt-in and reused (no passwords stored).
