Codex Live Bar vs Replicas

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.

Replicas is the cloud coding agent for engineering teams. Run coding agents inside cloud machines with your codebases, tooling, and dependencies. Delegate work, iterate with agents, and review what comes back from your iPhone. Start work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode or Pi. Each task runs in its own isolated Linux VM with the repositories, dependencies, and tools configured by your organization. From the Replicas app, you can: • Start and monitor coding tasks • Chat with agents and steer work in progress • Attach images and files • Inspect changes and web previews • Review pull requests • Switch between organizations and environments A Replicas account is required. Environments, repositories, credentials, and subscriptions are configured outside the iOS app. The app does not offer purchases or contain purchase links.
