Compare remaining allowance, plan tiers, and exact reset times without opening multiple settings pages.
Choose your next account
Close that provider’s CLI sessions. Select an account in Switchboard, then start a fresh session.
The dates that matter
Quota reset countdowns and exact local times sit beside your accounts. Claude billing dates can be connected separately. Codex subscription periods appear when the provider supplies them.
Reported, never guessed
Missing limits stay hidden after a successful check. Failed checks keep their last snapshot with a warning. Codex reset credits include their reported count and expiry dates.
A native app. A local vault.
Saved login snapshots live in macOS Keychain. Usage checks go through the official CLIs. There is no Switchboard server, account service, or telemetry in the app.

A few things to know.
Does it change the account in my browser?
No. It selects the login used by new Claude Code or Codex CLI sessions. Your browser and ChatGPT app stay signed into their own accounts. The ChatGPT section shows Codex allowances, not ChatGPT message quotas.
Can I switch during a running coding session?
Close the provider’s sessions before switching. Running clients can keep credentials in memory and refresh tokens. Start a new session afterward. Switchboard does not kill your sessions or move an in-flight conversation.
Where are my credentials stored?
Saved snapshots use macOS Keychain. Account metadata stays in Application Support with owner-only permissions. Isolated CLI profiles can also contain credential files while checking usage. Nothing is uploaded to a Switchboard service. Read the storage details.
Do all subscription plans work?
Switchboard reads the plan and limits your CLI reports. Claude requires Keychain-based login. Codex requires its file credential store. API-key logins and Codex keyring, auto, and ephemeral stores are not supported. Internal provider interfaces can change.
Can I build it myself?
Yes. You need macOS 14+ and Swift 5.10 or newer through Xcode
Command Line Tools. Clone the repository and run
./scripts/install.sh.
