Limits arrive mid-flow
Heavy Codex sessions can move quickly. The interruption usually appears after you have already spent the allowance.

The problem
Codex limits are easy to forget until they stop your session.
Codex is most useful when you are deep in a build. That is also the worst time to discover your short window or weekly allowance is gone. TokenPeep keeps the important usage signal visible before the limit message appears.
Dashboards are manual
Official usage views are useful, but you still have to stop, open them, and remember to check while working.
Drain is hard to feel
A quiet session and a fast-draining one can feel similar until the remaining percentage suddenly matters.

How it works
A small Windows fuel gauge, not another dashboard.
TokenPeep sits in the Windows tray and can show a tiny always-on-top display. Use the OSD when you want usage in view, or keep your desktop clean and check the tray status when needed.

Reset timing so you know when the windows recover
Manual refresh and automatic local status updates
Optional OSD with click-through behavior outside move mode
Features
Built around the Codex numbers that matter.
TokenPeep focuses on usage visibility, warning states, and a lightweight Windows workflow. It is not an AI coding assistant, prompt manager, project dashboard, or OpenAI API billing monitor.
Usage at a glance
Track your 5-hour and weekly Codex usage remaining, reset times, plan metadata when available, and last update state.
Tray plus optional OSD
Keep TokenPeep in the Windows tray, or enable a compact always-on-top mini display that stays close without becoming a dashboard.
Warnings before the wall
Local threshold warnings at 50%, 30%, 20%, and 10% help you adjust before a heavy Codex run drains the rest.
Recent drain awareness
A small drain indicator helps you notice when the current 5-hour window appears to be dropping unusually quickly.
Built for Windows flow
Manual refresh, automatic refresh, saved OSD position, off-screen recovery, click-through display, and Start with Windows support.
Display controls
Choose compact or detailed formats, size presets, opacity, background, outlines, and themes such as Professional, Programmer, Trader, and Minimalist.
Local-first posture
TokenPeep has no TokenPeep account system, no TokenPeep telemetry, and no developer-controlled hosted backend for your usage display.
Honest beta boundaries
TokenPeep is an unofficial prerelease utility that depends on Codex/ChatGPT usage metadata continuing to work.
Privacy & trust
Local-first, with precise claims.
TokenPeep is designed to display usage information without a TokenPeep account system, telemetry, or a developer-controlled hosted backend.
No TokenPeep telemetry
No product analytics, advertising trackers, crash reporting, or developer-controlled telemetry collection.
Direct usage request
Fresh readings are requested from your PC to ChatGPT/Codex using your existing local Codex login session.
Sanitized local state
TokenPeep stores display settings and sanitized last-known usage values in local app data.
No API key or token spend
TokenPeep does not ask for an OpenAI API key, does not generate completions, and does not spend OpenAI API tokens.
Unofficial utility
TokenPeep is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI.
Private endpoint caveat
TokenPeep depends on Codex/ChatGPT usage metadata access continuing to work as expected.
Development principles
Small, focused, and honest about the tradeoffs.
TokenPeep started as a practical tool for heavy Codex sessions. The goal is not a giant developer platform; it is a visible usage reference that is narrow enough to understand, test, and trust.
ScopeCodex usage visibility on Windows first, before broader platform promises.
PrivacyLocal utility, sanitized state, no TokenPeep account system for usage display.
HonestyUnofficial prerelease, private endpoint dependency, and beta packaging caveats stated clearly.
FAQ
Codex usage monitoring questions.
How do I check Codex usage limits?
OpenAI provides official Codex usage surfaces such as the usage dashboard, and Codex CLI users may also check status during active work. TokenPeep does not replace those official views; it gives Windows users a smaller way to keep the key numbers visible while working.
What does TokenPeep show?
TokenPeep shows 5-hour Codex usage remaining, weekly usage remaining, reset timing, data freshness, warning states, and recent usage pressure signals when the app can read the relevant metadata.
Can TokenPeep increase my Codex limits?
No. TokenPeep cannot increase your allowance, bypass limits, or change how OpenAI calculates Codex usage. It helps by making remaining usage easier to see before you run out.
Is TokenPeep an official OpenAI app?
No. TokenPeep is an independent Windows utility for Codex users. It is not made by, endorsed by, or affiliated with OpenAI.
Does TokenPeep use my OpenAI API key?
No. TokenPeep does not ask for an OpenAI API key and does not call OpenAI model-generation APIs. It uses your existing local Codex login session to request Codex usage metadata.
Does TokenPeep consume Codex tokens or OpenAI API tokens?
No. TokenPeep is not a model client and does not generate completions. Checking usage through TokenPeep does not spend OpenAI API tokens; it requests Codex usage metadata using your existing local Codex login session.
Is TokenPeep private?
TokenPeep is designed as a local Windows utility with no TokenPeep telemetry, account system, or developer-controlled backend. It is designed not to extract, display, save, or upload prompts, conversation text, or private code.
Why not just use a dashboard?
Dashboards are useful when you remember to open them. TokenPeep is for people who want a passive fuel gauge in the tray or a tiny on-screen display while they build.
What is the current release status?
TokenPeep is currently a Windows-first prerelease utility moving toward private beta. Public release, payment, packaging, and support details should be treated as in progress until they are announced on this site.
