- Open Codex is a lightweight, open-source command-line AI assistant inspired by OpenAI Codex.
- It supports local language models like phi-4-mini and requires no API key.
- Features include one-shot mode, natural language to shell command conversion, and local-only execution.
- Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows with Python.
- Commands require confirmation before execution, with options to add to clipboard, abort, or execute.
- Future updates include interactive and function-calling modes, voice input via Whisper, and a plugin system.
- Installation options include Homebrew, pipx, and manual installation from GitHub.
- All models run locally, and commands are executed only after explicit approval.
- Developed by codingmoh under the MIT license, with contributions welcome.
