Codex app for Windows - Codex now runs natively on Windows with secure sandbox
The official Codex desktop app by OpenAI brings parallel coding agents natively to Windows. It isolates tasks in OS-level sandboxes and dedicated worktrees so agents can write, test, and propose code without trashing your local environment.

Hi everyone!
The official Codex app for Windows is now in the Microsoft Store and it's built exactly for how most of us actually work.
Previously you could run Codex through PowerShell or the VS Code extension, but this is the native desktop version we've been missing — secure sandbox, real PowerShell support, parallel agents with clean isolation, smooth diff review, and one-click editor integration.
If you've been using Codex on Windows already, or have simply been waiting for a proper native desktop experience, this finally feels like the right time to try it.
I use it almost every single day (replaced CLI and VS Code extension). The app is very fast and does the job very good and faster for me. I like it more than these two because it is easier to follow what AI is doing - very nice and simple UI. I would like to see full integration with Github repositories in the future tho.
I am a fan of Codex! when Codex app was launched for Mac and as a very first user I was almost crazy with that! I love you guys building such an amazing things.
I am also a fan of Linux... When can we expect to have "Codex app for Ubuntu"?
