What is CodexUse?

CodexUse is a tool designed for developers who work with both ChatGPT and Codex CLI accounts. Instead of logging out and back in repeatedly to switch between accounts, CodexUse lets you manage multiple Codex CLI accounts without disrupting your ChatGPT session. This is particularly useful for developers who maintain separate accounts for different projects, clients, or environments. The tool integrates with your existing workflow, allowing you to switch contexts quickly and maintain your ChatGPT login state throughout the process. CodexUse operates on a freemium model, making it accessible for individual developers and teams of varying sizes.
