CodexPlusBar 1.3.0 — Encrypted backup and restore

What's new

• Export Backup and Restore Backup in Settings → Backup & Transfer and the Profiles More menu.
• Restore directly from the empty Profiles screen on a new installation.
• Transfer profile details, saved desktop/OpenChamber sign-ins, Email Tools, supported settings, dedicated Chrome data, and transferable native sessions.
• Encrypted destination recovery before replacement, validated staging, atomic installation, and restart recovery for interrupted session/settings replay.
• Native file selection, secure password fields, Finder reveal and sharing.
• Text import is now labeled Import from Text….

Install or update

1. Download CodexPlusBar.dmg below. One download supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs on macOS 14 or newer.
2. Quit CodexPlusBar if it is running.
3. Open the DMG and drag CodexPlusBar.app to Applications. Choose Replace when updating.
4. Eject the DMG and open CodexPlusBar from Applications; it appears in the menu bar.

Updating keeps existing local profiles and sign-ins. To move Macs, update the old Mac, export a backup, install this release on the new Mac, and choose Restore Backup… there. Keep the backup password: it is required to unlock the file. Chrome may ask for sign-in again because some browser secrets are tied to the original Mac.

The app and DMG are Developer ID signed and Apple notarized. Version 1.3.0, build 14.

Verify the download
