¶ 14. ZECTRIX Todo Sync — Two-Way Microsoft To Do Synchronization
Developer: ZECTRIX Lab (itopinion)
Last updated: 2026-07-20
Overview:
A local macOS tool for two-way synchronization between ZECTRIX Sticky Note to-dos and Microsoft To Do. It reads tasks from all Microsoft To Do lists, writes new Sticky Note tasks to a designated list, and maintains separate task mappings for multiple ZECTRIX devices.
Highlights:
- Two-way task synchronization: Synchronizes titles, notes, dates, times, and complete/incomplete status
- Multiple-device support: Configure multiple ZECTRIX devices with independent mappings; the same Microsoft task can be synchronized to each device separately
- Safe preview and automatic synchronization: Supports a dry-run preview that shows proposed actions without changing tasks, manual synchronization, and scheduled background synchronization
- List and date mapping: Reads all Microsoft To Do lists by default; writes new Sticky Note tasks to a designated list and prioritizes Reminder over Due Date when available
- Secure local storage: Stores the ZECTRIX API Key in macOS Keychain and encrypts the Microsoft sign-in cache; browser authorization uses PKCE and no Client Secret
- Conservative deletion policy: The test version does not propagate deletions between services, reducing the risk of accidental data loss
Requirements: macOS, Node.js 20 or later, and an Outlook, Hotmail, or global Microsoft 365 account that can use Microsoft To Do. Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet in China, a Windows GUI client, and an officially signed installer are not yet supported.

¶ 16. codex-zectrix-dashboard — Codex Quota and Task Status Dashboard
Developer: BarryBarrywu
Last updated: 2026-08-11
Overview:
Reads Codex quota, reset timing, and recent task activity locally on macOS, then renders a 400 × 300 black-and-white dashboard for ZECTRIX NOTE4. The companion uploads a new image only when visible content changes and the push throttle permits it, making it suitable for a quiet, always-on physical AI status display.
Highlights:
- Quota at a glance: Shows quota remaining, percentage used, quota-window length, and reset time
- Recent task activity: Displays up to three tasks and distinguishes running, turn completed, failed, and interrupted states
- Read-only local collection: Reads quota through a standalone Codex
app-serverand receives execution events through hooks; it does not save or display prompts, responses, reasoning, tool arguments, plan text, or project paths - E-paper friendly: Produces a fixed 400 × 300 black-and-white PNG and pushes only when the image changes; if a data source is temporarily unavailable, it keeps the last state and marks it as potentially stale
- Privacy and key protection: Stores the API Key in macOS Keychain; Privacy Mode hides task titles, and setup shows a preview and upload boundary before the first push
- Plugin-based installation: The released plugin bundles the companion binary, so Python, Node.js, and Rust are not required separately
Installation:
codex plugin marketplace add BarryBarrywu/codex-zectrix-dashboard
codex plugin add codex-zectrix-dashboard@codex-zectrix-dashboard
After installation, run this in Codex:
$setup-zectrix-dashboard
Requirements: macOS, Codex, and ZECTRIX NOTE4. Other operating systems and display models are not currently supported, and the plugin cannot modify, control, or end Codex tasks.
License: MIT
Project repository: https://github.com/BarryBarrywu/codex-zectrix-dashboard
Device and raw-dashboard preview:
By default, task titles are included in the rendered image uploaded to ZECTRIX Cloud. Enable Privacy Mode when titles may contain sensitive information. Treat the ZECTRIX API Key like an account password: never paste it into chat or commit it to a repository.
