Requires macOS 12+, Node.js 22+, and a manual Gatekeeper bypass since the app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized by Apple.
Codex Pulse Launch is a small companion app for macOS that sits inside the Codex app and shows you a weekly usage summary. Specifically, it displays your remaining quota and remaining time for the week in the lower-left corner of the Codex interface. The README is written primarily in Chinese, with a link to an English version. To install it, you need macOS 12 or later, the Codex app, and Node.js 22 or later. You download a zip file from the GitHub releases page, unzip it, move the app into your Applications folder, and then fully quit Codex using Command-Q before opening Codex Pulse Launch. The app uses ad-hoc signing and has not been notarized by Apple, so macOS may block it on first launch. The README explains how to work around this by right-clicking the app and choosing "Open," or by allowing it through System Settings under Privacy and Security. The app adds a few visual elements to the Codex interface. It shows your remaining weekly quota and remaining time next to your avatar. A blue bar represents the quota, and an orange marker indicates the time. The "remaining usage" menu is expanded by default. The README is clear that this tool does not modify the official Codex installation package itself, which means it works as an overlay or companion rather than a patch. You can also install from source if you prefer, though the instructions for that are in a separate file. The project is released under the MIT license. The README also notes that this is not an official OpenAI project, which is useful context for anyone wondering about its relationship to Codex's creators. Overall, it is a lightweight utility aimed at people who want to keep an eye on their weekly Codex usage without leaving the app.
A lightweight macOS companion app that shows your remaining weekly Codex usage quota and time directly inside the Codex interface, so you can track usage without leaving the app.
