CodexBar CLI

A lightweight Commander-based CLI that mirrors the menubar app’s data paths (Codex RPC → PTY fallback; Claude PTY). Use it when you need usage numbers in scripts, CI, or dashboards without UI.

Install

  • In the app: Preferences → Advanced → Install CLI. This symlinks CodexBarCLI to /usr/local/bin/codexbar and /opt/homebrew/bin/codexbar.
  • From the repo: ./bin/install-codexbar-cli.sh (same symlink targets).
  • Manual: ln -sf "/Applications/CodexBar.app/Contents/Helpers/CodexBarCLI" /usr/local/bin/codexbar.

Build

  • ./Scripts/package_app.sh (or ./Scripts/compile_and_run.sh) bundles CodexBarCLI into CodexBar.app/Contents/Helpers/CodexBarCLI.
  • Standalone: swift build -c release --product CodexBarCLI (binary at ./.build/release/CodexBarCLI).
  • Dependencies: Swift 6.2+, Commander package (https://github.com/steipete/Commander).

Command

  • codexbar defaults to the usage command.
    • --format text|json (default: text).
    • --provider codex|claude|both (default: your in-app toggles; falls back to Codex).
    • --no-credits (hide Codex credits in text output).
    • --pretty (pretty-print JSON).
    • --status (fetch provider status pages and include them in output).
  • --openai-web (Codex only): imports browser cookies (Safari → Chrome) and fetches OpenAI web dashboard data (code review remaining, usage breakdown, credits usage history when available).
    • --openai-web-timeout <seconds> (default: 60)
    • --openai-web-debug-dump-html (writes HTML snapshots to /tmp when data is missing)
  • Global flags: -h/--help, -V/--version, -v/--verbose, --log-level <trace|verbose|debug|info|warning|error|critical>, --json-output.

Example usage

codexbar                          # text, respects app toggles
codexbar --provider claude        # force Claude
codexbar --format json --pretty   # machine output
codexbar --format json --provider both
codexbar --status                 # include status page indicator/description
codexbar --provider codex --openai-web --format json --pretty

Exit codes (proposed)

  • 0: success
  • 2: provider missing (binary not on PATH)
  • 3: parse/format error
  • 4: CLI timeout
  • 1: unexpected failure

Notes

  • CLI reuses menubar toggles when present (prefers com.steipete.codexbar{,.debug} defaults), otherwise defaults to Codex only.
  • Prefer Codex RPC first, then PTY fallback; Claude stays PTY-only.
  • OpenAI web requires a signed-in chatgpt.com session in Safari or Chrome. No passwords are stored; CodexBar reuses cookies.
  • Safari cookie import may require granting CodexBar Full Disk Access (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access).
  • The openaiDashboard JSON field is normally sourced from the app’s cached dashboard snapshot; --openai-web refreshes it live via WebKit using a per-account cookie store.
  • Future: optional --from-cache flag to read the menubar app’s persisted snapshot (if/when that file lands).
