"OpenAI today announced a new Mac app dedicated to working with its Codex AI coding agent. This is different from the general-purpose ChatGPT app that OpenAI has been shipping for a while. The new coding app is intended to be something of a command center, not only for directing coding agents, but also for managing multiple coding agents across projects and tasks that run for long periods of time."
"In a briefing I attended with OpenAI executives a few days before the launch, OpenAI cofounder and CEO Sam Altman said, "There's obviously been a huge shift in software agents over the last few months as the models have crossed a threshold of real utility. 5.2, in particular, is a model that many of us have found can do extremely complex things, and we realized we started to feel limited by the interface." The new Mac app is intended to help mitigate that limitation."
OpenAI launched a Mac-only Codex app dedicated to its Codex AI coding agent. The app functions as a command center for directing and managing multiple coding agents across projects and long-running tasks. Sandbox controls limit folder writes and network access to reduce risk. The app preserves context when switching among IDE, terminal, and the Codex interface. Codex is positioned to expand from single-agent edits to orchestrating multi-agent software lifecycles across design, build, ship, and maintenance stages. GPT-5.2-Codex began rolling out in mid-December, and Codex usage nearly doubled since then, with over a million developers using it in the last month.
