Get Codex Lost World - Codex for Desktop

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

Introduction

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
