README

Codex + Claude Usage Indicator

An unofficial Windows widget that stays on top while Codex Desktop is running and shows Codex weekly usage alongside Claude Fable usage.

What it does

  • Appears while Codex Desktop is running and hides when Codex exits.
  • Keeps the existing 272 × 64 window and uses one or two fluid panels depending on which providers are available.
  • Shows only white remaining percentages: Codex is identified by a blue bar and Claude Fable by a terracotta-orange bar.
  • Expands one successful provider to the full width when the other provider is unavailable.
  • Shows Codex weekly reset details plus Claude 5-hour, weekly, and Fable reset details in a hover tooltip.
  • Reads the weekly usage window from the local Codex app-server.
  • Reads Claude limits through Claude Code's built-in /usage command with a ten-minute in-memory cache.
  • Keeps one credential-free successful Claude snapshot locally for up to 24 hours so a rate-limited cold start does not blank the panel.
  • Keeps the last successful Claude value visible during temporary rate limits or service errors and reports the delay in the tooltip.
  • Refreshes every 60 seconds; double-click to refresh Codex immediately while Claude continues to honor its ten-minute cache.
  • Supports dragging, copying the current values, toggling always-on-top, and turning the Claude panel on or off from the right-click menu.
  • Remembers the last dragged position and restores it on the next launch.
  • Hides while another foreground app is fullscreen, then returns at the saved position.
  • Uses a per-user Windows scheduled task at sign-in, so the widget runs independently of Codex. A lightweight supervisor restarts the widget after an abnormal exit, waiting one minute (up to 999 retries per supervisor run).

Account management is optional. After you register a Codex account, the widget stores account labels, identities, each account's latest usage snapshot, and Codex login snapshots encrypted with Windows CurrentUser DP
