Apple's official guideA few more things to know.
Simple to use.
Clear to understand.
What do I need to get started?+
Install Codex and sign in with your ChatGPT account. Pulse finds your local Codex executable automatically; if it cannot, select its path in Settings.
Why might usage differ from billing?+
Limits use window data returned by Codex servers. Token counts come from locally recorded session events and may be incomplete. They are not billing totals or usage across all devices.
How do I show the Mac desktop widget?+
On Mac, limits appear in the menu bar by default. In the details window, open Preferences → Floating Widget and enable Show Desktop Widget. Click the menu bar item for its menu; hover to preview limits.
Is this an official OpenAI app?+
Codex Pulse is independent open-source desktop software, not an official OpenAI product, and is not affiliated with Apple. Download the installer for your system; release notes and issue reports are available on GitHub.
