Continua

I’m the maker of Continua, a free experimental Mac companion for developers whose Codex Desktop coding tasks stop at a usage limit. It is designed to preserve the interrupted task, wait until supported usage returns, and continue in the original environment. It does not bypass limits or add quota.

Continua monitors eligible coding projects by default and provides local task and quota-cycle history. Normal onboarding does not require picking an application or directory. If you want to restrict monitoring, choose the coding project’s source folder in Settings. This beta targets Codex Desktop coding tasks, not ordinary ChatGPT conversations; interactive CLI support is disabled.

The current beta is 0.3.3 (build 8), for macOS 13+ on Apple Silicon and Intel. There is no purchase or licence key. The app is unsigned and not Apple-notarized, and updates are manual. Genuine installed end-to-end quota/reset recovery, fresh-Mac installation, physical sleep/wake and complete resource acceptance remain unverified. Treat this as a test build and supervise important work. Continua is independent of OpenAI.

We welcome honest feedback on installation, first open, task detection and any actual recovery you observe; you do not need to deliberately exhaust quota. Download and tester steps: https://continua-nu.vercel.app/download/#beta-test . Installation guide: https://continua-nu.vercel.app/install .
