Codex Account Switcher 3.3.18 — Keychain fixes (community build)

Fixes repeated Keychain access and improves portability.

• Reuse granted saved-account credentials in memory for the app session; skip unchanged credential saves.
• Remove automatic Keychain label updates and background credential writes during account loading and usage refresh.
• Stop automatic retry after Keychain access is denied. Reload saved accounts explicitly to retry.
• Use a friendly “Codex Switcher — Saved account” label for explicit saves and new accounts. Existing entries remain untouched during reads; their old labels may remain.
• Discover the installed Codex app by its bundle identity, including custom locations; report restart failures correctly.
• Replace personal copyright text with generic project branding.

Distribution status

This is an ad hoc signed community build, not Apple-notarized. macOS may ask to approve the app and grant access to each saved account, especially after updates. The app cannot promise zero Keychain prompts. Developer ID signing and notarization require an Apple Developer membership, which the publisher does not currently have.

Install / update

Quit Codex Account Switcher, unzip the download, and replace the app in Applications. Saved accounts remain in Keychain. Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later.

If macOS blocks launching, use System Settings → Privacy & Security. Any native Keychain dialog asks for the password to your own Mac login Keychain; do not share it in chat.

Codex Account Switcher 3.3.17 — Warm accounts

Adds Warm accounts beside Refresh in the Accounts window, with the same action in the menu bar.

• Send one tiny request per saved ChatGPT account without changing the active account or restarting Codex.
• See progress and individual account results; cancel remaining requests.
• Refresh account usage after warming.
• Confirm before sending: warming consumes a small amount of Codex allowance. OpenAI controls usage-window timing; this does not reset existing windows or bypass limits.

This release also includes the provider and account-management improvements from the local 3.3 series.

Install or update

Download Codex-Account-Switcher-macOS-Apple-Silicon.zip, unzip it, and drag Codex Account Switcher.app into Applications. For an update, quit the old Switcher first and choose Replace. Saved accounts remain in macOS Keychain.

Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. The app is ad hoc signed, not notarized. If macOS blocks first launch, allow the app in System Settings → Privacy & Security. The Codex desktop app must already be installed.

SHA256SUMS.txt is included to verify the download. No accounts, API keys, or personal configuration are included in the app bundle.

Codex Account Switcher 3.0

• Bundle version 3.0, build 11.
• Prebuilt app distribution. Application source is not included in this release.
• The archive was extracted and its six files matched the installed app byte for byte. The local code signature verifies.
• Ad hoc signed, not Apple-notarized. macOS may require first-launch approval in Privacy & Security.
• No saved accounts or credential files are included in the app bundle.

See the installation guide and the attached SHA256SUMS.txt to verify the download.
