CodexHost
Run Pi and other Harnesses inside Codex Desktop
We believe Codex Desktop offers the best desktop development experience today.
But Codex isn't the only great Agent Harness — Claude Code and Pi are great too.
CodexHost lets you run other Harnesses natively inside Codex Desktop and have them work together.
⭐ If CodexHost is useful to you, please give it a star! ⭐

Interface Preview
No more switching apps: Pi, Claude Code, Grok Build, and ten-plus other Harnesses all run right inside the same Codex Desktop window.

Interface
Quick Start
Option 1: npm (macOS / Windows / Linux)
npm install -g @codexhost/cli
codexhost
Option 2: Installer (macOS / Windows)
Grab the installer for your platform from Releases.
Linux is supported on x64 and ARM64. See the Linux guide.
Run codexhost update to check for the latest release and prepare an upgrade from your terminal. Quit Codex Desktop first if an upgrade is available. Once preparation completes, the background updater installs it and restarts codexhost. An up-to-date installation exits without changes.
codexhost does not start, or Codex opens without codexhost features
Run codexhost console (Windows: Start Menu → "codexhost console") to open the local console at http://127.0.0.1:4399/. It shows why the last start failed, the Codex Desktop version, Host Runtime logs, and can update codexhost while Codex is not running. It starts together with codexhost: installer launches open the console overview in your default browser, while terminal launches do not open a browser and print both the console address and the Web login link on success or failure (the Web line is omitted when disabled or not ready). The overview can open Web and stop codexhost after confirmation; “Connect devices” manages Web remote access using the same settings as Web; see Use in your browser and on your phone.

Quit Codex Desktop completely, open a new terminal, and run
codexhost.
Use in your browser and on your phone (Web)
Keep working away from your desk. codexhost Web lets you use Pi, Claude Code, and other Harnesses from a browser or your phone, with conversations synced live with Codex Desktop: follow a task you started on your computer from your phone, answer its questions, and handle approvals.
codexhost web # start Web and open it in your browser
codexhost stop # stop all codexhost background services
Web runs in the background and does not need Codex Desktop to be open.
On your phone: in Web, open Settings → Connect devices, choose a connection method, and scan the QR code with your phone. Same Wi-Fi, Tailscale, the codexhost relay, and a self-hosted relay are supported; see Web remote access for how they differ. Use Add to Home Screen in your phone's browser to open it like an app.
Login links and QR codes contain an access token: anyone who has one can operate this computer. Keep them as safe as a password.
