Get Codex Lost World - Codex for Desktop

Bring Codex to Intel Mac with a simple CLI workflow for build, download, and packaging. 🚀

Get Codex is a desktop-focused toolchain that helps users on platforms often left behind by official releases:

• macOS Intel (.dmg)

It automates artifact resolution, local build flow, and optional signing steps.

Note

Windows support in this repository was removed because OpenAI now provides an official Codex app for Windows via Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9plm9xgg6vks?hl=en-US&gl=EG
