CodexPlusBar 1.2.3 — Desktop switch recovery

CodexPlusBar 1.2.3

Fixes desktop account switches that repeatedly reported that ChatGPT could not close, even after its main window had quit.

What changed

• Known ChatGPT crash-reporting and keyboard-monitor utilities may remain running after quit without blocking a sign-in switch.
• Only their confirmed bundle locations are excluded. The desktop, Codex app-server, renderers, and unknown helpers still block credential changes until they exit.
• Real-process regression tests cover both permitted utilities and seven blocking executable locations.
• Updated the README for the 1.2.3 DMG and upgrading from 1.2.2.

The prompt-free normal quit and bounded force-quit fallback from 1.2.2 remain available. Force quitting can interrupt active work.

Install or update

Requires macOS 14 or newer. The universal app supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

1. Download CodexPlusBar.dmg below.
2. Quit an older running copy of CodexPlusBar.
3. Open the DMG and drag CodexPlusBar.app to Applications, replacing the older copy if needed.
4. Eject the DMG and open CodexPlusBar from Applications; look for its menu bar status.

Replacing the app preserves saved profiles, desktop/OpenChamber sign-ins, and Chrome profiles. Xcode, codex-auth, and CodexAuthHelper are not required.

Optional download verification: save CodexPlusBar.dmg.sha256 beside the DMG and run this command in that folder:

shasum -a 256 -c CodexPlusBar.dmg.sha256
