CodexComplete
CodexComplete is a VS Code autocomplete extension that delivers Copilot-style inline suggestions using OpenAI API models (default: gpt-5.3-codex).
Features (POC)
- Inline ghost-text autocomplete while typing.
- Manual command to complete at the current cursor.
- Fast defaults for low-latency coding flow.
- API key stored securely in VS Code
SecretStorage.
- Activity Bar icon with a full CodexComplete GUI sidebar.
- In-panel settings editor (model, timeout, debounce, context, inline toggle, strict inline controls).
- Built-in safety: completion is automatically disabled for files/paths containing
env.
- Custom ignored-path regex list in settings/UI for additional exclusion rules.
- Model dropdown auto-loads all models available to the user's OpenAI API key.
- Live diagnostics + token usage charts grouped by day/week/month.
- Optional daily token limit (null = no limit).

npm install
- Build:

Notes
- API key is never stored in plaintext settings.
Data Retention & Privacy
- CodexComplete stores usage metrics locally on your machine using VS Code extension storage.
- By default, there is no external database and no remote analytics telemetry from CodexComplete.
- Diagnostic views (like token usage charts) read from local data only.
- Data stays in your local VS Code profile and follows normal profile/extension lifecycle unless you clear extension data or uninstall.
- We recommend treating local extension data as sensitive developer metadata and protecting your workstation/profile backups accordingly.
