- zozbot234 5mo agoCodex is a rust TUI app, and it's available as open source. It has nothing to do with Electron.
- gempir 5mo agoCodex is both a macOS app and a CLI/TUI app. Their naming is not very clear. The codex desktop app is somewhat of a frontend for the codex cli. By the look and feel of it I would guess it is written with Electron.
- 16bitvoid 5mo agoCodex CLI is a TUI app, but Codex App is an actual desktop GUI app. If you actually look at the TFA, you'll see that all of the videos are of the desktop app.
- conradev 5mo agoYes! and if you install Computer Use from the Codex App you can also use it from the Codex CLI
- bdotdub 5mo agothe codex desktop app is electron, as is claudes
- ValentineC 5mo ago> Codex is a rust TUI app, and it's available as open source. It has nothing to do with Electron. I just updated Codex and looked inside the macOS app package. It is most definitely still an Electron app.

- btown 5mo agoAt least when I tried it last, Claude Cowork tried to spin up an entire virtual machine to sandbox itself properly - and not only is that sandboxing slow to start up, it also makes it difficult to actually interact freely across your filesystem. (Perhaps a feature, not a bug.) Claude Code, on the other hand, has no such issues, if you've done some setup to allow all commands by default (perhaps then setting "ask" for rm, etc.).
