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.

Widgets show the latest usage snapshot saved by the app. BUILT FOR YOUR SERVER Configure one reachable CodexBar server and use either the Direct API or an HTTPS Dashboard Snapshot endpoint. When used, bearer tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain. Your AI provider credentials remain in your Mac-side CodexBar setup and are not entered into BarPeek Mobile. AVAILABLE WHEN YOUR SERVER ISN'T Usage and cost data are cached locally, so your latest saved information can remain visible if your server is temporarily unreachable. BarPeek Mobile clearly shows when the saved data was last refreshed. REQUIREMENTS ⢠iPhone running iOS 18 or later ⢠CodexBar installed, configured, and running on a Mac ⢠Network access from your iPhone to your CodexBar server BarPeek Mobile is a companion viewer. It does not provide AI service access or connect directly to provider accounts. Available quotas, credits, costs, and token details depend on the data returned by your CodexBar configuration.
