01 / Attention

Codex can work in the background.
Your attention can’t.

When several tasks are moving at once, the expensive part is not waiting. It is noticing the moment your judgment matters—and finding the right task again.

02 / Signal

The signal lives in your menu bar.

Each task becomes a small, glanceable signal. Codex Capacity sits beside them, so the menu bar tells you enough to decide whether to stay focused or step back in.

3 essentials

  1. 01.

    Glance at the state.

    See what is active, what needs input, and what completed without reopening every task.

  2. 02.

    Return in one click.

    Open the matching Codex task directly instead of searching for the window or retracing your context.

  3. 03.

    Keep the boundary local.

    Codex Echo reads the Codex app on your Mac. It does not expose your tasks over HTTP or the LAN.

03 / Codex Capacity

Plan the cycle,
not just the
percentage.

Know what remains.
See if the pace holds.

Switch between every Capacity window Codex reports. See the next reset and available reset credits, then compare the observed cycle with a transparent Since Reset projection and Even Pace reference.

04 / Speech

Let the right moments speak.

Codex Echo speaks the moments that matter—from task completion and approvals to capacity, subagents, and connection changes. Every announcement can speak, chime, or stay quiet, with voices that can differ by task or project.
