OpenAI ships a Codex desktop command center for multi-agent coding

OpenAI introduced a macOS Codex app aimed at supervising multiple coding agents and long-running tasks in one place. It pairs with the existing Codex CLI and IDE workflows, adding parallel threads, worktrees, and a skills manager.

OpenAI released a Codex app for macOS built to run and supervise multiple coding agents in parallel.

  • Agents work in separate threads grouped by project, with a review flow to inspect changes, comment on diffs, and jump into your editor for manual edits.
  • The app supports Git worktrees so different agents can work on isolated copies of the same repo without colliding with each other (or your current local state).
  • It reuses your existing Codex setup by picking up session history and configuration from the Codex CLI and the IDE extension.
  • OpenAI also expanded access and limits: Codex is included with ChatGPT Free and Go for a limited period, and rate limits are doubled on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans across app, CLI, IDE, and cloud usage.
  • The desktop app adds a built-in “skills” interface to create and manage reusable workflows that bundle instructions, resources, and scripts for non-trivial tasks beyond code writing.
