Mac account switcher
Switch Codex accounts from the Mac menu bar.
Keep the accounts you use within reach, see which one is active, and move between them without rebuilding your setup.
Short answer
Mac Codex account switcher
Codex Switcher is a native macOS menu bar app for people who use more than one Codex account. Add each account, give it a clear name, then choose the active account from the menu before you return to Codex.
A Mac control for a Mac workflow
Account switching belongs near the app you use. Codex Switcher stays in the menu bar, so you can check the active account without opening settings or searching through browser sessions. The menu shows the account name, plan, and available usage data in one compact view.
The app fits work that changes during the day. You can move from a personal project to a client repository, then return to a team account. A check mark identifies the active account before you open a new Codex task.
Add each account once
Start with the browser sign-in flow inside Codex Switcher. Name the account for the context you will recognize later, such as Work, Personal, or Client A. Repeat the process for the accounts you use on this Mac.
After setup, choose an account from the menu bar. Codex Switcher uses the local Codex account tools on your Mac. It does not merge accounts, move projects between them, or change the access attached to either account.
- Clear account names reduce mistakes.
- The active account carries a visible check mark.
- Usage status appears when local Codex tools provide it.
Built for a narrow job
Codex Switcher handles account selection and usage visibility. OpenAI still controls account access, plans, limits, resets, and service policy. The app cannot increase a limit or transfer usage between accounts.
The narrow scope keeps the workflow calm. You get a menu bar utility instead of another dashboard. The product runs on macOS 14 or later and includes a three-day trial, so you can test your account setup before buying.
Choose it if account context changes often
The menu bar workflow suits developers, consultants, and small teams who keep separate Codex accounts for separate work. It also helps anyone who wants to see the current account before starting a task.
A single account needs no switcher. Two or more active contexts create the value: less sign-in friction, a visible account label, and a short path back to the work you need.
