Flyout anatomy
Everything you need,
when you need it.
One click opens a native flyout with the exact fields the provider returns — usage, reset timers, pace against the window, and the credit balance.
- Provider & planThe connected account and its plan.
- Usage metersEach window fills as you work.
- Reset timersThe exact time left in the window.

- PaceUnder or over the pace of the window.
- CreditsThe balance available for extra usage.
- ActionsRefresh, settings, and close.
- Rolling windows
- Session and model windows move continuously, so the timer counts down from your last use.
- Fixed windows
- Weekly windows reset on the provider's calendar, and the flyout shows the time remaining.
- Reported, not guessed
- Percentages, timers, and credits come straight from the provider response.
Connected inputs
Connect only
what you use.
A fresh install connects nothing. Add a provider and CodexWinBar reports only the fields that provider makes available.
| Provider | Connection | What it can report | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| Codex | Browser OAuth | Usage windows, resets, credits | Available |
| Claude | Browser OAuth | Session, weekly, model window, credits | Available |
 GitHub Copilot | GitHub device flow | Copilot quota snapshots | Available |
 Gemini | Gemini CLI OAuth | Available model quota buckets | Available |
 OpenRouter | API key | Credits and per-key limits | Available |
| OpenAI Admin | Admin API key | Organization cost reporting | Available |
 z.ai | API key | Coding-plan quota data | Available |
 Cursor | Session cookie | Plan and Composer usage | Experimental |
Provider names and logos belong to their respective owners. Integration does not imply endorsement or partnership. Endpoints and available fields can change.
Settings & notifications
Quiet by default.
Clear when it matters.
Set your refresh cadence once. Turn on only the notifications that earn their place, and CodexWinBar stays out of the way for everything else.
- ThresholdKnow when a window crosses the level you chose.
- PaceCatch a window that is running ahead of its reset.
- Under-useAn optional nudge when an allowance is going to waste.
Local by design
Your data never
leaves your machine.
No CodexWinBar account. No CodexWinBar server. No analytics, no telemetry, no sync. Requests go straight from your PC to the providers you connected.

One line.
Winget downloads and verifies the latest package, then installs CodexWinBar for your Windows account.
winget install CodexWinBar --interactive
