## About

Codex Monitor is a free native macOS utility for people using Codex. It shows weekly limits, five-hour usage, reset times, available resets, token totals, daily activity, and model breakdowns from the menu bar.

The app reads usage locally from a signed-in Codex installation and does not send prompts or start tasks. It supports launch at login, configurable limit displays, reset countdowns, an optional Dock icon, and in-app updates. Requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later.
