What does AI Break do while I'm using Codex and Claude Code?

It keeps Codex usage in the macOS menu bar and adds Claude Code limits when a terminal session can provide them.

  • Codex works automatically — remaining usage or exact reset time
  • Claude Code syncs from Terminal — through its official status line
  • Start a break instantly — click the menu bar from any app
