CodexBar CLI for fetching usage from the command line. |
|
A lightweight Commander-based CLI that mirrors the menubar app’s data paths (Codex web/RPC → PTY fallback; Claude web by default with CLI fallback and OAuth debug). Use it when you need usage numbers in scripts, CI, or dashboards without UI.
- In the app: Preferences → Advanced → Install CLI. This symlinks
CodexBarCLIto/usr/local/bin/codexbarand/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.
- Homebrew (Linuxbrew, Linux only):
brew install steipete/tap/codexbar. - Download
CodexBarCLI-v<tag>-linux-<arch>.tar.gzfrom GitHub Releases (x86_64 + aarch64). - Extract; run
./codexbar(symlink) or./CodexBarCLI.
tar -xzf CodexBarCLI-v0.17.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
./codexbar --version
./codexbar usage --format json --pretty
./Scripts/package_app.sh(or./Scripts/compile_and_run.sh) bundlesCodexBarCLIintoCodexBar.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).
CodexBar reads ~/.codexbar/config.json for provider settings, secrets, and ordering.
See docs/configuration.md for the schema.
codexbardefaults to theusagecommand.--format text|json(default: text).
codexbar costprints local token cost usage (Claude + Codex) without web/CLI access.--format text|json(default: text).--refreshignores cached scans.
--provider <id|both|all>(default: enabled providers in config; falls back to defaults when missing).- Provider IDs live in the config file (see
docs/configuration.md). --account <label>/--account-index <n>/--all-accounts(token accounts from config; requires a single provider).--no-credits(hide Codex credits in text output).--pretty(pretty-print JSON).--status(fetch provider status pages and include them in output).--antigravity-plan-debug(debug: print Antigravity planInfo fields to stderr).
- Provider IDs live in the config file (see
--source <auto|web|cli|oauth|api>(default:auto).auto(macOS only): uses browser cookies for Codex + Claude, with CLI fallback only when cookies are missing.web(macOS only): web-only; no CLI fallback.cli: CLI-only (Codex RPC → PTY fallback; Claude PTY).oauth: Claude OAuth only (debug); no fallback. Not supported for Codex.api: API key flow when the provider supports it (z.ai, Gemini, Copilot, Kilo, Kimi K2, MiniMax, Warp, OpenRouter, Synthetic).- Output
sourcereflects the strategy actually used (openai-web,web,oauth,api,local, or provider CLI label). - Codex web: OpenAI web dashboard (usage limits, credits remaining, code review remaining, usage breakdown).
--web-timeout <seconds>(default: 60)--web-debug-dump-html(writes HTML snapshots to/tmpwhen data is missing)
- Claude web: claude.ai API (session + weekly usage, plus account metadata when available).
- Kilo auto: app.kilo.ai API first, then CLI auth fallback (
~/.local/share/kilo/auth.json) on missing/unauthorized API credentials. - Linux:
web/autoare not supported; CLI prints an error and exits non-zero.
- Global flags:
-h/--help,-V/--version,-v/--verbose,--no-color,--log-level <trace|verbose|debug|info|warning|error|critical>,--json-output,--json-only.--json-output: JSONL logs on stderr (machine-readable).--json-only: suppress non-JSON output; errors become JSON payloads.
codexbar config validatechecks~/.codexbar/config.jsonfor invalid fields.--format text|json,--pretty, and--json-onlyare supported.- Warnings keep exit code 0; errors exit non-zero.
codexbar config dumpprints the normalized config JSON.
The CLI reads multi-account tokens from ~/.codexbar/config.json (same file as the app).
- Select a specific account:
--account <label>(matches the label/email in the file). - Select by index (1-based):
--account-index <n>. - Fetch all accounts for the provider:
--all-accounts. Account selection flags require a single provider (--provider claude, etc.). For Claude, token accounts accept eithersessionKeycookies or OAuth access tokens (sk-ant-oat...). OAuth usage requires theuser:profilescope; inference-only tokens will return an error.
codexbar cost --format json emits an array of payloads (one per provider).

- CLI uses the config file for enabled providers, ordering, and secrets.
- Reset lines follow the in-app reset time display setting when available (default: countdown).
- Text output uses ANSI colors when stdout is a rich TTY; disable with
--no-colororNO_COLOR/TERM=dumb. - Copilot CLI queries require an API token via config
apiKeyorCOPILOT_API_TOKEN. - Prefer Codex RPC first, then PTY fallback; Claude defaults to web with CLI fallback when cookies are missing.
- Kilo text output splits identity into
Plan:andActivity:lines; in--source auto, resolved CLI fetches addNote: Using CLI fallback. - Kilo auto-mode failures include a fallback-attempt summary line in text mode (API attempt then CLI attempt).
- OpenAI web requires a signed-in
chatgpt.comsession in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. 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
openaiDashboardJSON field is normally sourced from the app’s cached dashboard snapshot;--source auto|webrefreshes it live via WebKit using a per-account cookie store. - Future: optional
--from-cacheflag to read the menubar app’s persisted snapshot (if/when that file lands).
