- Mac users who want a quiet desktop companion
- Worth noticing
- The Intel x64 build is marked as not yet tested on a real Intel Mac; Codex task monitoring is optional and off by default.
Field notes
The site separates ordinary desktop-pet behavior from optional Codex features: monitoring is off by default, and chat uses the user's Codex account and quota. It describes preset reactions rather than code execution, and says the app does not read typed input, the clipboard, or other windows. Apple-silicon and Intel downloads are listed separately; the Intel build is still awaiting confirmation on a real Intel Mac.
