Codexex is a native iPhone and iPad utility for keeping Codex usage readable at a glance. It shows the next 5-hour reset when your account reports one, plus weekly allowance and reset timing. When only a weekly window is reported, weekly allowance and progress lead instead. Preview Mode lets you check the layout before signing in. Start a compact Live Activity after a foreground refresh to see your weekly percentage left and progress bar from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. Codexex keeps the iPhone and iPad experience focused on clear quota status and quick refresh controls. Codexex supports ChatGPT sign-in through Safari and a device-code flow. Quota reads stay on this device, with no browser cookies and no scraping. EULA / Terms of Use: https://codexex.eu/terms Privacy Policy: https://codexex.eu/privacy/
Codex Live Bar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keep Codex limits visible while you work. Codex Live Bar shows session, weekly, and model-specific usage in a focused Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Create two private Shortcuts automations and the Live Activity can appear when ChatGPT opens and disappear when it closes. Refresh from the app, Shortcuts, or the Live Activity itself. Everything runs on your device. Authentication tokens stay in the iOS Keychain, usage is fetched directly from OpenAI, and there are no analytics, ads, tracking, accounts, or developer servers. Codex Live Bar is an independent client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI. The app relies on an undocumented OpenAI endpoint that may change.
