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.
Moku

Moku is the remote workspace for AI coding agents. Monitor, manage, and resume Claude Code, Codex, Herdr panes, and more from one app on your iPhone or iPad. ALL YOUR AGENTS. ONE APP. Watch active Herdr panes, see what each agent is doing, and take over when it needs input. Moku also discovers projects and sessions from 12+ AI coding CLIs, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Qoder, Trae, Kimi, and Grok, and keeps everything organized by project. Supported sessions resume in one tap inside a real terminal. No digging through shell history or hunting session IDs. ROAM WITH MOSH The custom Rust terminal core parses ANSI at 28 MB/s and handles a 10 MiB output burst at 35 MB/s in our benchmark harness. Native Mosh keeps sessions alive through Wi-Fi/cellular handoffs and screen locks. You can also discover and reattach remote screen/tty sessions. NO PUBLIC IP? NO PROBLEM Built-in zero-config Tailcat private networking: run one command on the host, paste the token into Moku, and establish an encrypted connection without port forwarding, router configuration, or root. A FULL SERVER TOOLBOX Fast SFTP file manager and code editor, live CPU/memory/disk/network telemetry, Docker container management, process and systemd control, and command snippets. LIVE ACTIVITIES & DYNAMIC ISLAND Check agent progress from your lock screen or Dynamic Island without reopening the app. LOCAL-FIRST AND PRIVATE Hosts, passwords, and SSH keys are encrypted on your device. No ads, no behavioral analytics SDKs, and no Moku account is required for core SSH workflows. AI features connect directly to the API endpoint you configure. Free to download. Everything shipping today stays free forever; Pro unlocks new advanced features. A small pixel soot sprite named Soot keeps you company during late-night debugging.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Codex Live Bar at none against Moku's 3. Moku's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
