Your API quota,
always in sight.
Monitor your OpenAI Codex API quota in real time, right from the macOS menu bar. Green, orange, red — know your usage health at a glance.
Features
Everything you need,
nothing you don't.
QuotaBar is a menu bar extra — no Dock icon, no windows. Just your quota, always there.
Real-time monitoring
Your OpenAI Codex quota updated automatically — no browser tabs, no dashboards. Just a number in your menu bar.
Status at a glance
Green, orange, red. Know your quota health the instant you look up — without opening anything.
Auto-refresh
Choose your cadence from 1 to 60 minutes. QuotaBar checks silently in the background.
Reset notifications
Get a native macOS notification the moment your quota resets, so you can get straight back to work.
Keychain storage
Your API key lives in the macOS Keychain. Never stored in plain text, never leaves your machine.
Zero footprint
No Dock icon. No persistent windows. Pure menu bar extra — it's there when you need it, invisible when you don't.
Always in the know
You start fresh.
Quota just reset. Full capacity, green light.
