How I built a native macOS Codex account switcher without a proxy

Описание и применение

Приложение Codex Account Switcher позволяет быстро переключаться между несколькими аккаунтами Codex на macOS, показывая активный профиль и еженедельные лимиты, без использования прокси.

Задача

Users needed to know which Codex Desktop account was active and its weekly usage before opening a repository, but Codex Desktop lacked account switching and usage display.

Результат

The app enables quick, secure switching between multiple Codex accounts on macOS without a proxy, preserving local state and respecting usage limits.

Рабочий процесс

• Maintain a local library of profile directories each containing auth.json
• From the menu bar, identify the active profile and its weekly usage
• Select a different profile and confirm the switch
• Save the current profile’s credentials
• Activate the selected profile by replacing auth.json
• Verify the selected identity
• Reopen Codex Desktop
• Start new Codex CLI processes that read the selected authentication

Доказательства

The app keeps a small library of authorized local Codex profiles.

Источник

The switcher stores each saved identity in an independent profile directory.
