Codex usage tracker
Know how much Codex you have left.
Nowdex shows your Codex 5-hour and weekly limits, and when each one resets, on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows PC. One glance before you start a task.
Codex Home Screen widgets, light and dark. Example data.
What it tracks
The same limits you see with /status in the Codex CLI and on the Codex usage dashboard, without opening either.
5-hour window
How much of the short window you have used, with a countdown to when it refills.
Weekly limit
The bigger budget on your ChatGPT plan, and the day and time it resets.
Reset credits
When your plan has them, how many early resets you have left, shown apart from the reset time.
Codex CLI tokens and cost
Today’s tokens and cost by model, next to your limits, powered by tokens.ci.
Where you see it
iPhone and iPad
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Check your Codex limit before you start a task, without opening an app.
Mac menu bar
The session and weekly numbers next to the clock, every window one click away, plus desktop widgets.
Windows
Your Codex limits in the notification area, with a notification when a limit resets.
Next to your other agents
Claude, Cursor, Grok, and 9 more services in the same place, so you can see which one has room.
Private by design
Your Codex sign-in stays in the Keychain on your device, and in iCloud Keychain if you turn on sync. Usage is requested directly from OpenAI by your device. Nowdex has no account to create and keeps no passwords or usage on its own servers.
Questions
How does the Codex usage tracker get my usage?
You sign in to the ChatGPT account you use for Codex in Nowdex once. Your device then asks OpenAI for your Codex usage directly. Credentials stay in your Keychain, and there is no Nowdex account or server in between.
Is this the same as the Codex usage dashboard?
It shows the same limits as the dashboard and /status: your 5-hour and weekly windows, their reset times, and reset credits when your plan has them. Nowdex keeps them on your Home Screen and menu bar so you do not have to open a page.
Does API usage count against my Codex limit?
No. Codex on a ChatGPT plan uses your plan’s limits. Codex with an API key is billed separately at API rates, so it does not appear in these numbers.
Is it free?
Nowdex is free to download, and the free version connects one account, which is enough for Codex alone. Pro unlocks more accounts and services. The Windows app is free.
