Choose your agent: Codex joins Claude Code

One profile, your agent

  • Every profile now picks the agent it runs: Claude Code or OpenAI Codex. The profile page has a new Agent switch, styled like the dock's own pane switcher, with separate settings for each agent (command, Codex model, permission bypass). Switching back and forth never loses either configuration.
  • Sessions remember the agent they were started with. Changing a profile's agent only affects new sessions: an open Claude session keeps its Claude tab and resumes with Claude, always.
  • Orb never installs or updates an agent CLI on your Mac. It uses the codex or claude command already on your PATH, and the profile page warns you when the command cannot be found.

Codex sessions feel native

  • The attention cue (the glow when the agent finishes a turn and hands control back) works for Codex too.
  • Codex conversations come back after quitting and relaunching Orb: each session captures its Codex session id and resumes exactly where it left off. If the id was never captured, the session starts fresh rather than ever reopening the wrong conversation.
  • Inline rendering, permission bypass, and the Ghostty detach all map to Codex's own flags.

Containers

  • A Codex container profile bakes the codex CLI into its image automatically. Sign in once with codex login during setup, then Save Snapshot: every new session starts authenticated.
  • Existing Claude container profiles are untouched and do not rebuild.

Website

  • The site now describes agent profiles and Codex support (feature card and FAQ).
