Hi everyone, I’m Vlad, the maker of Switchy.
Switchy puts everyday Mac controls and developer status checks in one native menu bar panel: system switches, deploy status, local servers, 2FA codes, and Claude/Codex usage limits.
It runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later. You can try every feature for 7 days without an account or card; after that, it’s $4.99 once for up to 3 Macs.
Which controls or integrations would be most useful in your workflow?
nice one, congrats on the launch!! when my Claude or Codex limits change, does Switchy read them straight from the accounts or estimate them from local usage logs?
@igorblink
Switchy gets the account’s reported usage and limits through Claude and Codex’s own CLIs, so there’s no estimation from local usage logs. Changes show up on the next successful refresh, along with the reset times the provider reports.
Your question reminded me I need to take care of something. When you log out of one Claude account and log into another, the usage bar from the first account resets. I’m fixing that.
The Keychain answer is what sold me — secrets stored as Keychain items, codes generated locally, and the Codes tab behind Touch ID. That's exactly how I'd want 2FA handled in a menu bar app, no proprietary vault holding my secrets.
where do the 2FA secrets live, macOS keychain or a file Switchy manages? That decides if I would put my real accounts in it.

macOS Keychain, Raphaël. Each account, including its 2FA secret, is stored as a Keychain item rather than in a file Switchy manages. Codes are generated locally, and the Codes tab unlocks with Touch ID or your Mac password. Accounts can sync through iCloud Keychain when that’s enabled. If you choose to export a backup, that file is encrypted with a password you set.
