Features

The workflow serious Codex users actually need

Start with instant account switching. Add rate-limit radar, auto-roll, project-based history, and remote control when the workflow gets heavier.

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.

New

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.

Searchable session history

Pin, favorite, rename, and search conversations without losing track of client, team, or personal work.

MCP and skills in one place

Install MCP servers, manage skills and AGENTS.md, and keep local tooling aligned across projects.

Manual sync between machines

Push profiles, config, and settings from one device, then pull on another only when you choose. Pro.

New

Real terminal, docked

Full PTY tabs inside the workspace for the same shell-first flow, without bouncing between apps.

Guides

Start with the exact workflow gap

Use these paths if you already know the pain: account switching, 429s, or fitting Codex into an existing editor-heavy setup.

Switch accounts safely

Start here if your main pain is relogin loops, duplicate accounts, or keeping client and personal work separate.

Stay ahead of 429s

Start here if rate limits interrupt work and you need a cleaner monitor-switch-auto-roll workflow.

Fit Codex into your stack

Start here if you already work in an IDE or hosted agent surface and want a local-first Codex companion flow.

Community

What developers are saying

From our Discord community and early adopters.

I stopped getting surprised by 429s mid-session. Keeping a backup profile ready with auto-roll changed the workflow.

Early adopter

Telegram remote is useful because it works from my phone without any webhook or public-server setup.

Discord member

I installed it for profile switching. Personal, team, and client accounts stay separate without the re-login loop.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the switching, install, and upgrade questions that come up most often.

No. CodexUse uses the same OAuth login as the official Codex CLI. Sign in with your existing OpenAI account — no API keys, no tokens to manage.

Yes. Create a profile for each account and switch between them from the tray, window, or CLI. Auth stays isolated per profile.

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, MCP manual setup, config editor, integrated terminal, notification sounds, and Dark + Light themes. Pro ($19.50 lifetime — 50% off the regular $39 price) adds unlimited profiles and projects, live rate-limit monitoring, auto-roll, Telegram remote control, advanced analytics, one-click MCP & Skills installs, 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.

Current 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.
  • Thread terminal selections are first-class chat context now: pick exact line ranges from the terminal drawer and they show up as inline chips in the composer instead of forcing manual copy and paste.
  • Those terminal context snippets now persist with the draft and materialize correctly when you send, with clearer expired-context handling if the underlying terminal output is no longer available.
  • Imported Codex CLI threads are less noisy in the UI: duplicate origin badges were removed from thread chrome and replaced with one clearer notice at the top of the conversation.
  • Local mac release recovery is sturdier behind the scenes: if a notarized app bundle already exists, CodexUse can restaple it and rebuild the DMG plus updater assets without rerunning the whole packaging pass.
