Where'd Codex Go?
I just clicked the "Update" button in the Mac Codex app, and the app quit and deleted itself. I went to download it from the download page, and it downloads a copy of the ChatGTP app.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this OpenAI unifying things?

- pmxi 2mo agoThis is expected behavior; the Codex app has been rebranded as the ChatGPT app.
- aleshh 2mo agoHmph. There was no Update button in ChatGPT, but sure enough, restarting it and now I get "ChatGPT Codex". I'm not sure I like this at all, but hopefully it means the ChatGPT app won't leak memory and need to be restarted every few hours!

- BelmontSteaks 2mo agoI did that too and now I am unable to access all my ChatGPT chats!
- strax01 2mo agoI think Open AI merged codex and the ChatGPT app. This happened to me as well but still dont see the "new" version after the update which is odd. https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/app https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/app
- BelmontSteaks 2mo agosame here. this is maddening
- strax01 2mo agoDude I know right, restarted my whole system to make sure still nothing? any luck on your side?
- sintem 2mo agoSame here. But where is Codex in ChatGPT app? I can only use codex as part of VS code extension. I talking about desktop.
- JoeGama 2mo agoI was having this issue and after installing and installing ChatGPT desktop, I finally got the ChatGpt Work, that has CODEX merged to it. So, if you still didn't get it right, try uninstall and install again and again and maybe again hehe.
- MPiccinato 2mo agoWell this is fun, all of my chats are gone and I can't seem to get them back?
- PaiDxng 2mo agoAn update that deletes the app and replaces it with ChatGPT sounds like a forced migration—check if OpenAI announced Codex is being sunset.
- zzowenzz 2mo agoThe web page shows codex is embedded in chatgpt but my chatgpt shows differently

- RobDotInfo 2mo agoSolution! Like everyone else, I updated Codex, it deleted itself and the download appeared to be the installer for the old ChatGPT. However... Quit (the old) ChatGPT, then install from this new installer. Then ChatGPT Codex opens, WITH all your conversations from the old Codex... as well as your conversations with the old ChatGPT (under the "Chat" option).
- lgl 2mo agoI've also updated it. The first upgrade popup/highlight was a notification that "Codex is now the chatgpt app" and even gave me a checkbox to keep the old Codex icon. It was a smooth upgrade so I'm guessing this was just a case of "next-next-next" without paying any attention to what was happening.
