Introducing the Codex app for macOS—a command center for AI coding and software development with multiple agents, parallel workflows, and long-running tasks. The Codex app changes how software gets built and who can build it—from pairing with a single coding agent on targeted edits to supervising coordinated teams of agents across the full lifecycle of designing, building, shipping, and maintaining software.
Delegate repetitive recurring tasks in the background
• Set up tasks for issue triage, failure reports, and more
• Combines skills and custom instructions to run on a schedule
Available on macOS, with Windows coming soon.
To celebrate, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users have doubled rate limits across the Codex app, CLI, IDE extension, and cloud.
Codex is also included in Free and Go plans for a limited time.

Who hunted Codex by OpenAI?
Codex by OpenAI was hunted by Chris Messina.
