AuthPilot

Intelligent multi-account manager for OpenAI Codex CLI. Auto-switches accounts when usage limits are reached — never hit a rate limit again.

AuthPilot lives in your menu bar or system tray, silently monitors all your Codex accounts in the background, and automatically swaps to the healthiest account when limits approach. No more manual auth.json juggling.

Tray

Features

• Tray-first desktop app — Lives in the macOS menu bar, Windows tray, or Linux status area
• Auto-switch on limit — Monitors usage every 60s; switches accounts automatically when you hit configurable thresholds
• Kill + relaunch Codex — Seamlessly quits and restarts the Codex Desktop app on every switch so the new session is active immediately
• Multiple auth modes — Supports both ChatGPT OAuth login and direct API key import
• Encrypted storage — All account credentials are encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305 using a machine-bound key
• Usage dashboard — Open the dashboard anytime from the tray to see per-account usage, rate limits, and reset timers
• Dark mode — Native light/dark/system theme support
• Zero-config file auth — Automatically forces cli_auth_credentials_store = "file" in ~/.codex/config.toml

How it works

1. Add your Codex accounts via OAuth or by importing existing auth.json files
2. AuthPilot takes a snapshot of each account's credentials and stores them encrypted
3. The background monitor polls usage for all accounts every 60 seconds
4. When your active account approaches its limit, AuthPilot swaps ~/.codex/auth.json with the next best account and restarts Codex
