Feature request: Configurable, always-visible global status line in the Codex app

What variant of Codex are you using?

MacOS Codex App

What feature would you like to see?

Problem

/status works well within an individual chat, and I can check my 7-day usage limit by clicking my organisation name in the bottom-left corner. However, both require interrupting my workflow to check usage.

Since moving from the CLI to the app, I miss having a configurable status line that stays visible. This is especially useful when running multiple chats simultaneously and trying to keep track of my overall usage and burn rate.

Proposed solution

Add a configurable, always-visible status line at the app level that persists when switching between chats. Something like [statusline.cc](https://www.statusline.cc/) illustrates the kind of customisation I have in mind.

At a minimum, it should display:

• The percentage of my 7-day usage allowance consumed or remaining.
• When that allowance resets.
• Usage updates automatically, without opening a menu or running /status.

Additional configurable fields, such as short-term usage limits and usage trends, would also be useful.

Benefit

A persistent, account-wide usage indicator would help me pace work across concurrent chats, spot unexpectedly high consumption, and avoid hitting a usage limit unexpectedly.

Additional information

No response

Start by tracing the existing /status command and the organisation-name usage view in the macOS Codex app. Define the account-wide placement, configurable fields, refresh behavior, and reset display, then add coverage for switching chats and automatic usage updates.
