Command Codex App windows
Launch, focus, stop, and restart profile-matched Codex App windows from one local cockpit — no Activity Monitor, no guesswork.
Run every Codex account from one local cockpit. Switch without re-auth, see live rate-limit headroom, and pool quota behind one API.
Codex App window control and instant account switching out of the box. Add Accounts Pool when another tool should share quota across your accounts.
Launch, focus, stop, and restart profile-matched Codex App windows from one local cockpit — no Activity Monitor, no guesswork.
Codex App and CLI profiles stay signed in locally. Jump between personal, work, and client accounts instantly — the logout loop is gone.
Live usage and reset windows per account, so you switch on your terms instead of getting killed mid-task by a 429.
Accounts Pool hands another OpenAI-compatible app one local API that shares quota across your accounts, load-balances, and fails over automatically from the desktop app or a headless CLI run.
Already know the pain? Go right to it: Codex App window sprawl, account switching, surprise 429s, or pooling accounts behind one local API.
Start here if you want each Codex App window mapped to the right saved account, with focus, stop, restart, and launch controls.
Start here if logging out and back in keeps breaking your flow, or if you need work and personal accounts clearly separated.
Start here if rate limits interrupt work and you want earlier warning before a session dies mid-task.
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.
Window orchestration, OpenAI OAuth login, isolated per-account profiles, Telegram alerts, encrypted manual cloud sync, and an optional local API that shares quota with load balancing and failover.
Orchestrate profile-matched Codex App windows: launch, focus, stop, restart, and monitor.
Give another app one local API to share quota across selected accounts, from desktop or CLI.
OAuth auth and config stay isolated per account, so nothing leaks between profiles.
Usage and low-headroom alerts in Telegram, scoped to the chats you allow.
Push profiles, config, and settings from one machine and pull on another, on your command.
List profiles, switch accounts, manage Accounts Pool, and sync profile data without leaving your terminal.

The switching, install, and upgrade questions that come up most, answered plainly.
Not for CodexUse itself. CodexUse uses the same OAuth login as the 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, CLI, or Codex Apps settings. CodexUse can also orchestrate Codex App windows for profile-matched accounts. The trial and Pro can pool selected profiles together so another app can share quota across them instead of making you switch by hand.
Yes on macOS. The 7-day trial and Pro both unlock profile-matched Codex App windows, running-state detection, focus, stop, restart, and launch controls.
Yes. Codex Apps detects profile-matched Codex App windows, shows their running state, and lets you focus, stop, restart, or launch windows from CodexUse. CodexUse can prepare a draft-based handoff into a target profile when bridge context is available; it does not clone a live session.
Accounts Pool turns selected saved Codex accounts into one local API for another OpenAI-compatible app. The trial and Pro both give that app 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.
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.
Set a % left switch threshold, optionally rank eligible profiles, and CodexUse switches to the next profile when the active account reaches that remaining-usage level. It is available during the trial and stays unlocked with Pro.
CodexUse is the local control plane for the Codex app: profile management, Codex App window control, rate-limit visibility, Accounts Pool, CLI helpers, settings, and support diagnostics.
Every install starts with a 7-day full-feature trial: unlimited profiles, Codex App controls, Accounts Pool, auto-roll, one-click MCP & Skills installs, and manual cloud sync. After the trial, Pro ($19.50 lifetime - 50% off the regular $39 price) keeps everything unlocked with one payment.
If you haven't upgraded, CodexUse locks your saved profiles and features — but nothing is deleted. Your profiles, accounts, config, and settings stay on your device exactly as you left them. Buy a Pro license whenever you're ready and everything unlocks again instantly, right where you stopped. Already on Pro? The trial deadline never applies to you.
Cloud sync is fully manual and client-side encrypted. Push from your main machine with a passphrase, then pull on another machine with the same passphrase. The trial and Pro can use it; the server stores one encrypted snapshot and never receives plaintext profiles, config, settings, or the passphrase.
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; when you explicitly push, CodexUse encrypts profiles, config, and settings locally before upload.
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. Homebrew installs should be upgraded with "brew upgrade --cask codexuse", not the in-app restart updater. If Homebrew gets stuck with either "App source '/Applications/CodexUse.app' is not there" or "It seems there is already an App at '/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/.../CodexUse.app'", run "brew uninstall --cask --force hweihwang/codexuse/codexuse" once, remove any dangling "/Applications/CodexUse.app", 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.
