I Got Tired of Checking Codex and Claude Code Usage Separately, So I Built CodeRim

I've been using AI coding tools like Codex and Claude Code quite a lot.

They're incredibly useful, but there's one small thing that kept interrupting my workflow.

Checking usage limits.

Every time I wanted to know how much usage I had left or when my limits would reset, I had to check different places.

It's not a huge problem, but when you're coding every day, those little interruptions add up.

So I decided to build something for myself.

Meet CodeRim

CodeRim is an open-source desktop application that helps developers monitor their AI coding usage without constantly switching between dashboards.

The idea is simple:

Know your limits. Keep coding.

Instead of opening multiple tools just to check your usage, CodeRim keeps that information accessible from a small desktop interface.

What Can CodeRim Do?

• Usage monitoring: Check available usage limits across supported AI coding tools.
• Reset times: See when supported usage limits reset.
• Token history: Explore local token usage records for Codex and Claude Code.
• Session activity: Keep track of supported coding sessions.
• Multiple accounts: Switch between saved Codex and Claude Code accounts.
• Cross-platform: Available for macOS and Windows 11.

CodeRim also includes an edge-notch interface, designed to keep usage information accessible without taking over your screen.

Why I Built It

I didn't want another complicated dashboard.

I wanted something that could sit quietly on my desktop and show me the information I needed when I needed it.

That's what CodeRim is trying to achieve.

One of the challenges has been dealing with the differences between AI providers. Usage limits, local token records, and account information don't always come from the same source.

CodeRim brings the available information together while keeping those differences in mind.

It's Open Source

CodeRim is available on GitHub under the MIT license.

You can explore the source code, report issues, suggest features, or contribute.

GitHub: https://github.com/dlfkdLR/CodeRim

The project is still actively evolving, and there's plenty of room for improvement.

I'd Love Your Feedback

I'm especially interested in hearing from developers who use multiple AI coding tools.

• Would you use an app like this?
• Which AI coding tools would you want to monitor?
• What would make CodeRim more useful in your daily workflow?

If you have a few minutes to check it out, I'd really appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks for reading!

Know your limits. Keep coding.
