A real usage dashboard for Codex

Codex runs hard on your machine — SeaWork shows live sessions, token activity, and session activity from your phone or desktop so you are not guessing from a token history page.

Official usage views stop at history

If you search for a Codex usage dashboard, you mostly find ChatGPT billing history, platform.openai.com spend charts, or forum posts about missing real-time limits. Those surfaces answer “what did I spend last week?” — not “what is this agent doing right now, and am I about to hit a wall?”

Community tools fill some gaps, but they rarely sit next to the actual Codex CLI process on your machine. When you run long unattended sessions, the missing piece is a live session monitor — not another static spend table.

How SeaWork shows Codex usage

SeaWork is a local-first control plane for Codex (and Claude Code). The daemon on your machine owns the agent process; the apps surface live session state so operational monitoring is part of the same workflow.

Real-time session monitoring: stream status, tools, and progress while Codex is running
Multi-agent list: see every local Codex (and Claude Code) session plus token usage per turn
Phone and desktop: check live status from anywhere after pairing with your machine
Local-first: agents stay on your hardware; optional E2E encrypted relay for remote access

For account-level plan quota left on your ChatGPT/Codex subscription, use the official Codex `/usage` command and ChatGPT settings. SeaWork is a session-level operational view — live agents, token activity per turn, and status — not a replacement for OpenAI’s billing or subscription quota UI.

How to check your Codex usage today

Three official paths still matter. Use them for account limits and spend; use SeaWork when you need live session visibility.

1. Codex `/usage` in the CLI

Inside an interactive Codex session, run `/usage` (or the equivalent usage command in your Codex CLI version). This is the fastest in-terminal snapshot of plan/usage signals for the current account — handy at your desk, but not a multi-session dashboard and not available from your phone.

2. ChatGPT settings / plan usage

Open ChatGPT settings for your plan’s usage or limits view. This is where subscription-tier windows and product-level caps usually surface. It is account-centric history and entitlement, not a live list of local Codex agent processes on your laptop.

3. platform.openai.com/usage

For API and organization spend, OpenAI’s platform usage page shows token and cost history. It is the right place for finance and rate-limit forensics — not for watching a single local Codex turn while you are away from the keyboard.

FAQ

Does Codex have a usage dashboard?

OpenAI provides usage and billing surfaces (CLI `/usage`, ChatGPT plan usage, and platform.openai.com/usage), but there is no first-party real-time dashboard for every local Codex CLI session. SeaWork fills that gap by monitoring the agents running on your machine — sessions, token activity, and live status, not your ChatGPT subscription headroom.

How do I check Codex usage limits?

For account-level plan quota left, use the official `/usage` command and ChatGPT settings. SeaWork shows the operational layer — which sessions are active, stalled, waiting on approval, and token activity per turn — alongside those official signals, not instead of them.

Can I monitor Codex usage from my phone?

Yes. Install SeaWork, pair the mobile app with the daemon on your machine, and open the agent list. You can watch live Codex sessions, send follow-ups, and approve tools without sitting at the laptop.
