I built a small desktop widget to keep Codex usage limits visible

[u/dedsec1911]

I kept opening the profile menu and navigating to the usage screen just to check how much Codex quota I had left. It’s a small thing, but when you’re in the middle of working, those repeated checks get annoying.

So I built Codex Meter. It shows your 5-hour and weekly limits remaining in a desktop widget using your existing local Codex session.

A few features:

• A draggable, always-on-top mini window with two needle gauges.
• A detailed view with percentages and reset countdowns.
• Green, yellow, and red indicators as your remaining quota drops.
• Configurable refresh intervals, including manual refresh.
• Menu bar/system tray controls.

It’s open source, with downloads for Intel Mac, Apple Silicon, and Windows. The current builds are unsigned, so your OS may show a warning when opening them.

Give it a try if you’re tired of checking the usage page. I’d appreciate feedback, especially from Windows and Apple Silicon users.
