Account-pool scheduler for Claude/Codex CLI with token-based billing

A developer built Clidex after repeatedly hitting rate limits and juggling multiple accounts with Claude/Codex CLIs: a scheduling layer with an account pool that keeps the native CLI workflow, bills per token instead of monthly, and mitigates 429 interruptions. An 'Earn' side lets users with idle Claude/ChatGPT quota host it for income — a two-sided market around wasted subscription capacity.

Competition is light relative to demand: the HN discussion is hot, but almost nothing existing targets these specific search terms, which suggests the demand is real and currently unmet rather than already served by a dominant tool. That makes it worth entering, though the low repo count also means you'd be defining the category yourself — validate that heavy CLI users will pay before assuming hot
