I also gave up on my Claude Code subscription. It's running out in 2 weeks and I have canceled it. My current MAX session got rate-limited in 2 hours of work and that's just absurd.
Codex seems to give the $20 plan for free for 1 month and that's what I signed up for.
Let's see how it compares when I can't use my Claude max sub for 3 more hours.
Nice, I can see the appeal having familiar UI on Mac.
Even though I am not your target audience (linux i3 user myself), I would be interested in knowing how much "hacking" the macOS system is required to do this. Is it hard to get a list of running apps for your Task Bar? Is it hard to list the apps for the menu? How about keeping it all "on top" while other windows e.g. get maximized/minimized/full-screen, etc?
