OpenAI's Codex just got its own Mac app - and anyone can try it for free now

OpenAI has launched a new Mac app for its Codex AI coding agent, which serves as a command center for managing multiple coding agents. The app allows developers to run tasks in parallel, switch between IDE, terminal, and the app while maintaining context, and has sandbox controls for security. The app is currently Mac-only but a Windows version is expected. The app is free to try with the $20-per-month ChatGPT Plus plan, and higher compute-intensive tiers are in development for companies willing to pay for speed.
