LimitWise is designed for people who want to prepare work now and let Codex run it later. You describe the work in Plan mode, review the proposed model, effort, time, and budget, then confirm the schedule.
What LimitWise does
- Runs one task at an exact local time.
- Runs a sequence where each task starts after the previous task succeeds.
- Supports percentage and token budgets.
- Predicts likely and conservative usage from your local task history.
- Uses terse replies by default while preserving exact technical values and warnings.
- Records statuses, errors, transcripts, and token use on your computer.
- Refuses to start when reliable quota information is unavailable.
Start here
- Install LimitWise.
- Run the small file example.
- Learn how to schedule and manage tasks.
- Open troubleshooting if a task does not run.
Supported systems
LimitWise includes Linux and macOS code for x86-64 and ARM64, including Apple Silicon. Only Linux x86-64 has been tested. Windows is not supported in this version.
Safe defaults
LimitWise keeps 10% of the rolling five-hour quota in reserve. It never silently changes the confirmed model, lowers the reasoning effort, or postpones a task because quota is low. The task is skipped or interrupted and the reason is recorded.
Scheduled Codex runs use write access only inside the project you selected. Interactive approvals, external apps, web search, and network access are disabled.
