Quotio
Quotio is a native macOS menu-bar command center for AI coding accounts. It connects OAuth/API accounts, tracks quotas, and one-click-configures CLIs. The homepage does not sell a dollar seat.
Compare CC Switch if you wanted a cross-platform provider switcher, Hapi if you wanted remote control of official CLIs, and Claude Code if you wanted the wrapped agent itself.
Key Features
- Free MIT menu-bar app: Download a
.dmgfrom GitHub Releases. Unsigned-app note on the site:xattr -cr /Applications/Quotio.appif macOS blocks first launch. - Providers vs monitor-only IDEs: Homepage lists Gemini, Claude, OpenAI Codex, Qwen Code, Vertex, iFlow, Antigravity, Kiro, and GitHub Copilot OAuth as providers. Cursor and Trae are called out as quota monitor only, not proxy providers.
- CLI one-click: Compatible agents listed are Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Amp CLI, OpenCode, and Factory Droid.
- Local proxy, not a cloud SKU: Features include standalone quota mode, real-time dashboard, failover (Round Robin / Fill First), local API keys, Sparkle updates, English and Vietnamese.
Use Cases
- People on macOS 15+ who juggle Claude / Gemini / Codex quotas from the menu bar.
- People comparing Quotio vs CC Switch: one is a Swift menu bar, the other is a Rust/Tauri desktop switcher.
- People who thought Quotio was a paid SaaS.
Limitation: We did not re-audit every OAuth flow or failover strategy. Quality of the wrapped CLI is still that CLI's quality.

What Locks Codex Is the Picker, Not the Models
You already pay for OpenCode Go, Grok, and Z.ai, but the Codex picker still shows mostly GPT. The community project codex-router does not teach another install ritual. It puts subscriptions you already bought back into the selector, keeps keys on the machine, and leaves native GPT alone.

A ChatGPT-signed Codex desktop app still shows mostly GPT in the picker. On Windows, enable only OpenCode Go and the Grok, GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, and MiniMax models you already pay for appear in the same selector. Keys stay local. Native GPT stays put.
