Codexex keeps Codex quota and OpenAI API monitoring together on iPhone and iPad. Sign in with ChatGPT to see your 5-hour and weekly allowance, reset times and provider-reported Codex credits. Accounts that report only a weekly limit get a weekly view. Codex credits are shown separately from API dollars. Connect a standard OpenAI API key to verify API access, or an organization Admin key for usage and cost reports. Optional prepaid balance monitoring uses a separate billing sign-in. Add quota and API balance widgets to your Home Screen. Start a Live Activity for subscription quota on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Readings come from app refreshes; iOS decides when background updates run. Widgets show the last observation and mark older data as stale. Native onboarding, clear account settings, light and dark appearances, larger text support, preview data and local usage history make it easy to get started. Saved API keys and subscription tokens use this device's Keychain. Provider requests run on your device. The optional background wake service receives delivery details, not your OpenAI credentials or quota values. Codexex monitors usage without generating content.

AgStatus
Read full descriptionHide full description
AgStatus turns your phone into a live status board for the AI coding agents running on your computer. Long-running agents all behave the same way: they work for a few minutes, then quietly stop and wait for you. AgStatus puts every session on one screen β what each one is doing right now, how long it has been silent, and which ones are stuck β so you can step away from the keyboard without losing the thread. HOW IT WORKS A small open-source hook on your computer posts an update whenever an agent starts a session, edits a file, runs tests, or needs your input. Your board is a private URL with an unguessable token: no account, no sign-up, no email address. Connect your computer by scanning a QR code, typing a short pairing code, or pasting the board URL. ON THE BOARD β’ One card per session, color-coded through six states: idle, planning, coding, testing, blocked, done β’ The last thing the agent reported β the file it is editing, the test command it ran, the approval it is waiting for β’ Blocked cards glow; finished and long-silent ones fade, so the sessions that need you stand out β’ Updates stream in as they happen β no polling, no refresh button β’ Swipe a card away when you are done with it β’ Keep-screen-awake option for when the board lives on a desk or a shelf PLAN LIMITS AT A GLANCE Usage bars sit above the board: the current session window, the weekly cap, and per-model weekly caps, each with a percentage and a βresets in 2h 15mβ countdown that stays current. Bars run green, then amber, then red as a limit approaches, and only the agents actually running on your board take up space. SESSION HISTORY Tap any card to open its timeline: every status change and message that session reported, newest first, with timestamps. BUILT FOR PRIVACY β’ No accounts, no analytics, no advertising identifiers, no third-party SDKs β’ The app talks only to the board server you point it at β’ Your board URL and token are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device β’ Delete a board and everything on it from Settings, whenever you want β’ The hook has a minimal mode that reports tool names only and never command text, and plan-usage reporting can be switched off NOTIFICATIONS The app supports opt-in alerts for the moment an agent is blocked or finishes a run. The toggles become available when the server hosting your board is set up to send notifications, and the app says so plainly when it is not. OPEN SOURCE AND SELF-HOSTABLE The server, the command-line tool, the hook, and this app are open source under the MIT license. Point the app at the hosted service or at a server you run yourself β the whole backend is a single process, and every screen in the app works the same either way. TRY IT BEFORE YOU SET ANYTHING UP Tap βTry the demoβ on the welcome screen for a fully populated board β sample sessions moving through their states, usage bars, and timelines. Demo mode runs entirely on your device and sends nothing anywhere. Designed for iPhone with a dark interface. Showing real sessions requires a computer running a compatible coding agent. AgStatus is an independent open-source project that works with the hook systems of Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic or OpenAI.
