Codex app

# Codex app #### Codex app for Windows ![Codex app for Windows showing a project sidebar, active thread, and review pane]() The Codex app is now available on Windows. The app gives you one interface for working across projects, running parallel agent threads, and reviewing results in one place. The Codex app runs natively on Windows using PowerShell and a native Windows sandbox for bounded permissions, so you can use Codex on Windows without moving your workflow into WSL, onto a virtual machine, or by deactivating the sandbox. The Windows app includes the same core features as the rest of the Codex app: - [Skills](/codex/build-skills) to discover and extend Codex capabilities. - [Automations](/codex/automations) to run work in the background. - [Worktrees](/codex/environments/git-worktrees) to handle independent tasks in the same project. If you prefer to develop in WSL, you can also switch the Codex agent and the integrated terminal to run there. Download it from the [Microsoft Store](https://get.microsoft.com/installer/download/9PLM9XGG6VKS?cid=website_cta_psi) and sign in with your ChatGPT account or an API key.
