CodexBar 0.68.0

on GitHub

Highlights

• Codex account switching works end to end: a System Account switch now restarts the running app-server daemon even when its control socket is a symlink, and Usage Dashboard opens the current analytics page (#3990, #4018, #4004). Thanks @massdo and @RowboTony!
• A steadier menu bar on macOS 26.6: no blank slots after quitting, stable status-item identities through recovery and updates (fewer duplicate Bartender entries), and opt-in startup diagnostics for Control Center hosting problems (#4021, #3201, #3377). Thanks @mymatejackson, @giuseppebisemi, @WilliamTso, and @zxfxpower!
• One-click Homebrew updates for cask installs, with Homebrew staying in charge of the installation (#3994). Thanks @Yuxin-Qiao!
• More from sign-ins you already have: ClinePass reuses Cline's browser session, Venice accepts its new Clerk sessions, Muse Code can show a chosen web team's quota, and Mistral shows its Vibe Monthly Plan in the CLI, widgets, and on Linux (#4026, #3940, #4011, #4025, #4038, #4024). Thanks @shirishpothi, @LachieFREEDOM, @enieuwy, and @T0mSIlver!
• Usage & Spend names and ranks Codex sessions with privacy masking and counts Nous-billed ledger activity, and the web dashboard remembers Used or Remaining per browser (#4020, #4008, #4013). Thanks @urda, @Reztahla, and @andybergon!
• Leaner under the hood: Abacus now runs as a bundled plugin, 31 bundled-plugin providers are declared through shared specs, and the app ships with about 1,300 fewer lines of code than 0.67.0.

Added

• Mistral: show the Vibe Monthly Plan window, with its used / total / remaining amounts, in codexbar usage text output and the menu descriptor (#4025). Thanks @T0mSIlver!
• ClinePass: reuse an existing Cline browser sign-in session when no API key is configured, without copying or refreshing tokens (#4026). Thanks @shirishpothi!
• Muse Code: optionally show the explicitly selected dev.meta.ai browser team’s quota when the login omits quotas, with cookies Off by default and team choices in settings (#4011). Fixes #4002. Thanks @enieuwy!
• Mistral: show the Vibe Monthly Plan in widgets when the Mistral menu bar metric is set to Monthly Plan (#4038). Thanks @T0mSIlver!
• Updates: offer one-click Homebrew cask upgrades from the menu and About while keeping Homebrew responsible for installation (#3994). Thanks @Yuxin-Qiao!
• Web dashboard: choose Follow server, Used, or Remaining per browser, with persistent display preferences and consumption-based warnings (#4013). Fixes #3156. Thanks @andybergon!
• Menu bar: add opt-in, bounded startup diagnostics for status-item creation and Control Center hosting investigations (#3377).
• Plugins: support host-encoded form POST, optional POST enrichment with bounded collection, and time-zone-aware calendar month arithmetic on both engines.

Changed

• Abacus AI: fetch credits and optional billing through the bundled plugin, preserving calendar-month pacing and Chrome-first sessions, with bounded retries and a five-second billing budget (#4047).
• Usage & Spend: name Codex sessions from local thread metadata, rank them by cost with stable ties, and mask session titles and projects when Hide personal information is enabled (#4020). Thanks @urda!
• Settings: simplify menu bar layout controls while keeping token-removal instructions in the section footer (#3999). Thanks @elijahfriedman!
• Settings: dim inactive merged-icon labels while keeping their titles and explanations accessible, including stacked-style restrictions (#4030). Thanks @elijahfriedman!

Fixed

• Codex: resolve control socket symlinks when checking the running daemon, so System Account switches do not silently skip its restart (#3990, #4018). Thanks @massdo!
• Codex: open usage analytics from Usage Dashboard instead of the retired settings route. Fixes #4004. Thanks @RowboTony!
• Menu bar: prevent blank status-item slots after normal quit on macOS 26.6.2 while preserving saved icon positions (#4022). Fixes #4021. Thanks @mymatejackson and @giuseppebisemi!
• Menu bar: keep stable status-item identities through recovery removal after updates while preserving saved icon positions. Fixes #3201. Thanks @WilliamTso and @zxfxpower!
• Claude: keep automatic refreshes using an unexpired credential already in memory when the OAuth cache is temporarily unavailable past its 30-minute refresh window (#3395, #3390). Thanks @lozcalver!
• Mistral: accept a manual Cookie header in the Linux CLI, which refused it as macOS-only, so Linux shows the Included API and Vibe Monthly Plan allowances (#4024). Thanks @T0mSIlver!
• Venice: accept Clerk session cookies in Web and Manual modes, authenticate with a Bearer token, and explain active-tab recovery for expired sessions. Fixes #3940. Thanks @LachieFREEDOM!
• Nous Portal: include Nous-billed OpenCodex ledger activity in Usage & Spend, preserving estimated or unpriced costs separately from Portal credits. Fixes #4008. Thanks @Reztahla!
• Cursor: keep all-history cost requests within the dashboard API's supported date range so Usage & Spend can refresh (#4028). Thanks @Yuxin-Qiao!
• Plugins: retire timed-out or cancelled script contexts before allowing a retry, so the next refresh cannot reuse a poisoned worker.
• Settings: clarify that sidebar dots report provider service health and use gray until status is known. Fixes #4009. Thanks @harjothkhara and @jayn2u!
