AskBar
A small Windows window for your own Codex, Claude and Grok accounts.
A free portable Windows x64 preview by @adamdesgns. AskBar opens a compact always-on-top conversation window and connects to separately installed Codex, Claude Code and Grok Build command-line tools. Extract the complete ZIP and run AskBar.exe. Install and sign in to the providers you want separately; no subscription, credits, models or provider tools are bundled. Your prompts and responses are sent through the selected provider. Chat history is saved locally in plain text. This release is unsigned and has no automatic updater. Windows 11 startup is checked separately in the release report; fresh-machine setup and all current provider plans are not verified.
