What is quota-float?

Quota Float is a small desktop widget for Windows and macOS that shows how much of your Codex AI coding assistant quota you have left. It sits on screen as a compact, always on top window, and it shrinks into a small floating orb when idle, expanding again when you hover over it. The widget shows your Codex plan, your 5 hour usage window, your weekly quota, and when your usage next resets, using clear healthy, caution, and critical states so you can tell at a glance how close you are to a limit. It reads the login state already saved by the Codex Desktop app on your machine and asks the Codex quota service directly for the numbers, rather than guessing usage from local activity, and if that data becomes unavailable or stale it says so instead of making up a number. If the 5 hour window cannot be read, it falls back to showing weekly quota instead. Privacy is treated as a core feature here. The app only reads the existing Codex login to check quota, only sends your existing access token to the quota endpoint, and stores nothing but its own display preferences locally. It does not save your Codex tokens, chat history, prompts, or account details, and it has no analytics, telemetry, or crash reporting built in. Most people should just download a ready made installer from the project's GitHub releases page rather than building it themselves. For anyone who wants to build it from source, it is written with Rust and the Tauri framework for the desktop shell and a web frontend, and needs Node.js 20 or newer plus Rust installed. The standard installer is free and includes the default look, with additional supporter skins available through a locally verified, device bound license that is not sent to any outside service. The project is released under the MIT License.
