Native Codex workspace
CodexGui
A focused native workspace for long-running Codex collaboration.
Overview
A native Avalonia desktop client for Codex app-server with threads, approvals, rich Markdown, stdio and WebSocket transports, and extensible plugin surfaces.
CodexGui turns the Codex app-server protocol into a native cross-platform workflow. Its typed transport and modular Markdown stack stay reusable while the application adds thread navigation, approvals, rich output, terminal context, and plugin UI, with an Uno Platform direction alongside the current Avalonia host.
