What is claude-codex-usage-dashboard?

This project is an unofficial local dashboard that shows how much of your Claude Code and Codex usage limits you have used, displayed on a spare phone, tablet, or small screen. It is meant for people who already use these AI coding tools regularly and want an easy way to keep an eye on their remaining quota without opening a laptop. A small server runs on your own Windows or macOS computer, reads usage information that is already stored locally by Claude Code and Codex, and serves a simple web page that other devices on the same Wi-Fi network can open in a browser. It shows both the 5 hour and weekly usage windows, can display either how much you have used or how much you have left, and turns red once usage crosses a chosen alert threshold. The dashboard also includes a version built for older e-ink screens like a KOBO reader, since those browsers often cannot handle modern web features. Setup involves cloning the project and running it with Node.js, which is the only requirement beyond having Claude Code or Codex already installed and generating their own local usage records. Helper scripts are included for both Windows and macOS to start the dashboard, configure Claude Code to feed it usage data, and optionally set the dashboard to start automatically when you log in. If you already use another tool that reads Claude Code's status line, the project includes a fanout mode so both tools can receive the same data at once. The numbers only update after you actually use Claude Code or Codex, since the dashboard depends on the same local files those tools already write, and opening Claude in a web or desktop app rather than the CLI will not update it. All data stays on your own machine and nothing is uploaded anywhere. The project is not affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI and is described by its author as a personal side project with best effort support. It is released under the MIT license.
