A desktop application designed to simplify the management of multiple OpenAI Codex CLI accounts. It allows individual users to easily switch between their own accounts, monitor API usage limits in real-time, and manage quotas efficiently, enhancing productivity for those who utilize multiple OpenAI profiles.

How It Works

Built using the Tauri framework, Codex Switcher provides a desktop interface for managing OpenAI accounts. It supports adding and organizing multiple accounts, enabling single-click switching between them. The application offers real-time monitoring of both 5-hour and weekly usage limits. Authentication can be handled via OAuth or by importing existing auth.json files, offering flexibility in setup.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Prerequisites: Node.js (v18+), pnpm, Rust.
• Installation: Clone the repository, then run pnpm install.
• Development: Execute pnpm tauri dev.
• Production Build: Run pnpm tauri build. The application bundle will be located in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.
• Web Dashboard: Serve the dashboard over HTTP using pnpm lan (binds to 0.0.0.0:3210 by default, configurable via CODEX_SWITCHER_WEB_HOST and CODEX_SWITCHER_WEB_PORT). This allows access via LAN or tunnels.
