Requires building from source with Xcode command line tools and already being logged into Claude Code and Codex CLIs.
Token Checker is a macOS app that lives in your menu bar and shows how much of your Claude Code and Codex usage limits you have left, updated automatically so you do not have to check manually. Once you have logged into both Claude and Codex through their command line tools, the app reads the saved login tokens from your Mac's Keychain for Claude, and talks directly to the Codex command line tool for Codex. It then shows two small donut charts in the menu bar, one for each service, along with the percentage used. Clicking the menu bar icon opens a popover with more detail: separate numbers for the 5 hour usage window and the weekly usage window, how much time is left before each resets, and how often the app refreshes this data, which you can set anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, with 5 minutes as the default. There is also a toggle to have the app launch automatically when you log into your Mac. To use it, you need a Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, and Swift 5.9 or newer if you plan to build it yourself, which you can get through Xcode's command line tools. You need to already be logged into Claude Code and Codex through their own login commands before the app can show anything. If only one of the two is logged in, the app still works and just shows information for the one you have set up. There is no packaged download. You build the app yourself by cloning the repository and running a build script included in the project, which produces an installable app. If your Mac cannot find a proper Apple developer signing identity, the build falls back to a temporary local signature so the app can still run. The project does not use a standard open source license. The author allows personal use and modification, but asks that you contact them first before redistributing the app or publishing your own fork of it publicly.
A macOS menu bar app that shows your Claude Code and Codex usage limits in real time, so you know how much you have left before hitting a rate limit.
