OpenAI Launches Codex App for Windows

Share


OpenAI has officially launched a Windows version of its Codex app, bringing its AI-powered coding assistant to a wider range of developers. The app enables developers to coordinate with multiple AI agents to write, edit, and manage code more efficiently.

With this launch, OpenAI aims to make its AI coding tool accessible to developers who rely on Windows for their programming workflows. According to OpenAI, “The Windows app is designed for real developer environments, with native sandboxing and workflows so developers can stay in the tools they already use.”

The Codex app serves as a central hub for managing AI agents in software development. It allows developers to run multiple agents asynchronously across different projects, automate repetitive tasks, and connect agents to tools such as Git, Node.js, Python, .NET SDK, and other workflows through Skills. Users can also review and guide agent work without losing context.

Originally introduced in April 2025, OpenAI Codex started as a cloud-based AI software engineering agent capable of autonomously handling coding tasks. Initially available for macOS, the app attracted over 1 million downloads in its first week and amassed more than 1.6 million weekly active users.

OpenAI reports that over 500,000 developers were on the Windows waitlist prior to this launch. The Codex app is now available for all plans, including ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education, and works seamlessly across the app, CLI, IDE extensions, and cloud using a single account.
