Codex guides
Practical Codex guides for app orchestration, multi-account management, pooled accounts, rate-limit monitoring, troubleshooting, and local workflow setup.
Comparison2026-07-28
An honest comparison of CodexUse against codex-lb, codex-switcher, codex-pool and other free Codex account switchers: what each does, and when not to pay.
Policy2026-07-28
Where multiple Codex accounts are ordinary, where they cross into terms abuse, and exactly what CodexUse does and does not do with the accounts you hold.
Auto-roll2026-05-22
Use CodexUse Pro auto-roll to switch profiles before rate limits stall work. Set remaining-quota thresholds, recovery levels, and alerts in the app.
Profiles2026-05-22
CodexUse warns when multiple profiles resolve to one OpenAI identity. Learn why it appears and how to handle duplicate Codex profiles.
Homebrew2026-05-22
Install CodexUse with Homebrew, verify the CLI landed in PATH, and update cleanly with the official cask workflow on macOS.
Login2026-05-22
Codex keeps asking you to log in again? Fix expired or revoked login state, refresh the right profile, and get back to work without deleting your local setup.
MCP2026-05-22
Configure MCP servers in CodexUse with form controls instead of hand-editing config.toml. Add and manage Model Context Protocol servers safely.
Triage2026-07-28
Codex not working? Work through auth, rate limits, network, config, and version in that order. Most failures clear in minutes without reinstalling the CLI.
Linux2026-05-22
Historical Linux workflow note for CodexUse CLI users. Desktop releases target Apple Silicon macOS, but CLI profile workflows still apply on Linux.
Profiles2026-05-22
Manage multiple Codex CLI profiles safely. Learn how to save Codex profiles, rename them, and rotate between accounts for rate limit management.
429s2026-05-22
Understand Codex rate limits, why 429s happen, and how to see profile headroom before long runs stall. Switch profiles before sessions fail.
Settings2026-05-22
Change Codex models, reasoning effort, approval policy, sandbox mode, and MCP servers from CodexUse without editing config.toml by hand.
Updates2026-05-22
How CodexUse handles updates, restarts, and installers. Learn Apple Silicon macOS support, the 2.5.8 manual upgrade step, and where to download.
Basics2026-05-22
Codex usage guide: installation, authentication, basic commands, configuration. Learn how to use the Codex CLI effectively with real examples.
Guide2026-05-22
Connect another OpenAI-compatible app to Accounts Pool so it gets one local API, pooled quota across selected accounts, load balancing, and failover.
Accounts Pool2026-05-22
Accounts Pool turns selected saved Codex accounts into one local API with shared quota, load balancing, and failover for another app.
CLI2026-05-22
Use the CodexUse CLI to switch profiles, manage Accounts Pool, and sync profile data without opening the desktop app.
Cloud Sync2026-05-22
Use CodexUse cloud sync during an active trial or with Pro to push from your main machine and pull profiles, config.toml, and settings on another device.
Accounts2026-05-22
Use multiple OpenAI logins in one desktop app. CodexUse v2 is OpenAI-only and switches Codex CLI accounts without re-auth.
Comparison2026-05-22
Compare CodexUse, CodexBar, and vanilla Codex CLI by account switching, rate-limit visibility, local control, and background help.
Codex Apps2026-05-22
Orchestrate Codex App windows with profile-matched accounts, plus Codex CLI profiles, rate-limit headroom, and safe restart behavior in CodexUse.
Profiles2026-05-22
Stop logging out of Codex just to change accounts. Save multiple profiles, switch the active one locally, and keep work, client, and personal sessions separate.
