Every Codex account, one click away.
Save multiple Codex CLI profiles locally, switch instantly from tray or window, and stop losing momentum when one account runs low. Pro adds live headroom, auto-roll, and Accounts Pool so another OpenAI-compatible app can share quota across your saved Codex accounts through one local API, with load balancing and failover built in.
Features
The workflow serious Codex users actually need
Start with instant switching. Add live headroom, auto-roll, project-based history, and Accounts Pool when you want another app to share quota across your saved Codex accounts.
Switch accounts without re-auth
Keep multiple Codex CLI profiles saved locally and switch from tray or window. No logout loop.
See rate-limit headroom
Live usage and reset windows per profile so you know when to switch before the 429. Pro.
Pool quota across accounts
Accounts Pool gives another OpenAI-compatible app one local API that shares quota across your selected accounts, load-balances requests, and fails over automatically from desktop or CLI-managed headless runs. Pro.
Approve from Telegram
Monitor sessions, approve prompts, and switch projects from your phone through a private Telegram bot. Pro.
Projects keep work separate
Recent runs, model picker, and collaboration modes stay organized per project instead of one mixed global history.
Search and pin the right thread
Pin, favorite, rename, and search conversations without losing track of client, team, or personal work.
Guides
Start with the exact workflow gap
Use these paths if you already know the pain: account switching, surprise 429s, or pooling saved Codex accounts behind one local API for another app.
Switch accounts safely
Start here if logging out and back in keeps breaking your flow, or if you need work and personal accounts clearly separated.
Stay ahead of 429s
Start here if rate limits interrupt work and you want earlier warning before a session dies mid-task.
Pool accounts for another app
Start here if you want a script, editor extension, or another OpenAI-compatible app to share quota across your saved Codex accounts through one local API.
Community
What developers are saying
From early adopters and real user feedback.
I stopped getting surprised by 429s mid-session. Keeping a backup profile ready with auto-roll changed the workflow.
Early adopter
We pointed one helper app at the pool once, and after that CodexUse spread requests across accounts instead of us babysitting limits by hand.
Beta tester
I installed it for profile switching. Personal, team, and client accounts stay separate without the re-login loop.

Integration
Built for Codex CLI power users
OpenAI OAuth login, local profile isolation, and an optional local API that lets another app share quota across your saved Codex accounts with load balancing and failover, whether you manage it from the desktop app or the CLI.
OpenAI OAuth
Sign in once, profiles stay isolated.
Optional Accounts Pool
Give another app one local API to share quota across selected accounts, with desktop + CLI control and headless daemon hosting when needed.
Profile isolation
Auth and config stay isolated per account.
CodexUse CLI
Built for terminal power users
List profiles, switch accounts, manage Accounts Pool, and run a headless daemon without leaving your terminal.
- Fast profile switching with
codexuse profile switch. - Manage Accounts Pool settings, runtime keys, and daemon inspection from the CLI.
- Device auth for headless/SSH by default, plus manual cloud-sync handoff when you need another machine ready fast.
- Run one headless daemon for Telegram remote control and a pinned Accounts Pool base URL on another machine.
npm install -g codexuse-clicodexuse profile list
codexuse account-pool status
codexuse account-pool keys create --runtime=daemon
codexuse daemon start --port=3773
codexuse sync pull

FAQ
Common questions
Short answers for the switching, install, and upgrade questions that come up most often.
Not for CodexUse itself. CodexUse uses the same OAuth login as the official Codex CLI, so you sign in with your existing OpenAI account. If you turn on Accounts Pool for another app, CodexUse generates a separate local pool key for that client.
Yes. Create a profile for each account and switch between them from the tray, window, or CLI. Auth stays isolated per profile, and Pro can pool selected profiles together so another app can share quota across them instead of making you switch by hand. You can manage that pool from Settings or the CodexUse CLI.
Accounts Pool is a Pro feature that turns selected saved Codex accounts into one local API for another OpenAI-compatible app. That app gets one base URL and one key, while CodexUse shares quota across the selected accounts, load-balances new requests, and fails over when one account runs into limits or runtime trouble. You can control it from the desktop app or the CodexUse CLI, including headless daemon setups.
Current public desktop releases target macOS on Apple Silicon. Intel Mac and Linux desktop builds are not shipped in the current release line. If you only need terminal workflows on another machine, install the optional codexuse CLI separately with npm.
Auto-roll is a Pro feature. Set a usage threshold (e.g. 90%) and CodexUse switches to the next eligible profile when limits are near — only when no active chat is running, so nothing gets interrupted.
Free gives you 2 profiles, 2 projects, profile switching, full chat history, basic usage summary, config editor, notification sounds, and Dark + Light themes. Pro ($19.50 lifetime — 50% off the regular $39 price) adds Accounts Pool with shared quota, load balancing, and failover for other apps, plus unlimited profiles and projects, live rate-limit monitoring, auto-roll, Telegram remote control, advanced analytics, and manual cloud sync. One-time payment, yours forever.
A Pro feature. Connect a Telegram bot to CodexUse and control your workspace from your phone: approve prompts, send messages, switch projects, and monitor running sessions — all through Telegram.
Cloud sync is Pro-only and fully manual. Push from your main machine, then pull on another machine that has the CLI installed. Profiles, config, and settings transfer. Nothing syncs in the background — you control when data moves. A local backup is created before every pull.
Profiles, settings, and local app state stay on your device by default. Codex CLI keeps its own auth and config. Cloud sync is manual and opt-in; it only moves profiles, config, and settings when you explicitly run push.
Yes. One payment of $19.50 (50% off $39) and you own it. All future updates included. No subscriptions, no renewals.
Yes. On Apple Silicon macOS: brew install --cask hweihwang/codexuse/codexuse. If an old upgrade fails with "App source '/Applications/CodexUse.app' is not there", run "brew uninstall --cask --force hweihwang/codexuse/codexuse" once, then install again.
If you are on CodexUse 2.5.8 or older, redownload the current app manually once and replace the old install. Those older builds are on the pre-3.x updater path, so they do not jump cleanly to the current release line in place.

brew install --cask hweihwang/codexuse/codexuseCurrent release line
- Desktop releases currently ship for macOS on Apple Silicon only.
- If you are on CodexUse 2.5.8 or older, redownload the current app manually once.
- Desktop startup and shutdown are steadier again: CodexUse now renders from cached license state while it refreshes in the background, which avoids intermittent full-screen Loading stalls on launch, and closing the last window cleanly runs the real app-quit path when you do not keep the app alive after window close.
- The Projects composer is much smoother on active chats. High-frequency typing, attachment, and terminal-context editing now live behind a dedicated composer owner, which cuts broad chat rerenders while keeping failed-send recovery able to restore the draft you were working on.
- Keyboard thread navigation is back in the sidebar: you can move through visible threads with `mod+shift+[` and `mod+shift+]`, jump directly with `mod+1` through `mod+9`, and see temporary jump labels that match the rendered thread order.
- Changed-files sections now remember which turns you collapsed on a server thread, so switching threads or reopening the app does not immediately expand every diff tree again.
- Opening thread error and imported-thread warning banners is cleaner: their action buttons now share one layout container instead of stacking on top of each other, and the chat timeline avoids the virtualization remeasure loop that could previously spiral into noisy render-depth warnings on thread open.
