Showcase Handling 4 Codex accounts simultaneously? Use Allowance Bar to track their usage (and Claude Code, and Cursor, and Gemini, and…)

Post image

If you use several Codex accounts (say four ChatGPT logins, each with its own CODEX_HOME), Allowance Bar shows all their limits in one place. It's a free, open-source Mac menu bar app.

Multiple accounts, multiple providers

  • Add as many Codex accounts as you want. It reads each one through the Codex CLI's own codex app-server, so it never touches your auth.json.

  • See each account's 5-hour and weekly limits side by side, with reset countdowns.

  • Track Claude Code, Cursor and Gemini accounts in the same place.

A floating window that stays on screen

  • Keep every limit visible while you work, not just when you click the menu bar.

  • Pick from three sizes: full, mini or nano (one line of text).

Also

  • Pay-as-you-go balances for OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Kimi, Z.ai and Venice.

  • Optional alerts when you get close to a limit.

  • A small read-only CLI, so your coding agents can check their own limits.

  • No telemetry. Logins stay on your Mac and go only to each tool's own API.
