Wrong profile, wrong context
When multiple accounts or homes are involved, it becomes too easy to launch under the wrong identity and only notice after the session is already underway.
Windows-first control plane
Run the right Codex session on purpose.
Codex OAuth Profiles gives you one Windows desktop control center for Direct Profiles, launch decisions, connected accounts, and repair — so the next session behaves the way you intended.

Why this exists
The model is powerful. The workflow around it gets messy.
Serious Codex workflows become chaotic faster than most people expect: multiple accounts, unclear active state, repeated switching, and too much terminal recovery when something drifts. This app exists to make that workflow readable again.
The next launch is unclear
Without one place to see the current mode and choose the next path, every session start becomes a guess about what will actually happen.
Repair falls to the terminal
When runtime, shell, or licensing state breaks, too many workflows collapse into low-level troubleshooting instead of one visible recovery surface.
How it works
From the right profile to the right launch.
The point is not to add more chaos around Codex. It is to give the workflow one readable path from setup to launch to recovery.
01
Connect the right account
Start with the Codex identity you actually want available, instead of inheriting whatever local state happens to be active.
02
Choose the launch path
Use Direct Profiles or the next launch controls to decide how the following session should behave before it starts.
03
Start deliberately
Launch with intent, not guesswork, and know whether the choice is just for now or part of your default workflow.
04
Recover in the app
If setup, runtime, or licensing drifts later, come back to the same control center instead of rebuilding the environment by hand.
Currently shipping
Real surfaces for the workflow you already run.
Codex OAuth Profiles is not a single toggle sitting on top of local complexity. It already gives the workflow named, visible surfaces for profiles, launches, accounts, and repair.
Direct Profiles
Keep one known profile active
Direct Profiles gives Codex a clear future-shell home, so deterministic work can stay deterministic when certainty matters most.
Launch Center
Choose how the next session runs
Launch Center turns the next session into an explicit decision: direct or app-managed, just for now or your new default.
Connected Accounts
See which identities are ready
Connected Accounts keeps supported identities in one readable inventory, instead of leaving account state scattered across local setup.
Settings / Recovery
Repair without starting over
Settings keeps runtime, routing, licensing, update, and support actions in one recovery surface when the environment drifts or breaks.
Why desktop
Why this belongs on the desktop.
The desktop form factor gives this workflow a stable home. Instead of piecing together shell commands, environment variables, and guesswork, you get one place to understand the current state, choose the next action, and repair local drift.

Buy direct, recover cleanly
Buy directly. Come back cleanly.
Direct purchase should not feel risky. The storefront and the desktop app are designed to work together so buying, downloading, coming back later, and recovering access stay straightforward.
No account wall at checkout
Checkout starts with your purchase email, not a forced account-creation funnel.
Recovery is built in
Success links, durable manage links, and optional sign-in give you more than one way back later.
Stable Windows access stays reachable
The release center, purchase recovery, and re-download paths are part of the product experience, not an afterthought.

Launch pricing
Simple launch pricing for the core tier.
The launch offer is intentionally simple: one low-friction monthly path and one one-time launch-supporter option for the same core individual tier.
Monthly
$1.25/mo
Start with the core individual tier at the lowest-friction price. Best for most buyers and the clearest way to get the Windows app into your workflow.
Start monthlyLaunch Lifetime
$3.99 one-time
Make a one-time launch purchase for ongoing access to the purchased core tier. Best for early buyers who want to support the foundation and keep it.
Get launch lifetimeLaunch pricing applies to the core individual tier. Future premium or hosted layers may be priced separately.
Roadmap
Start with control. Expand into more leverage.
The product line is being built in layers. The current sellable layer is profile control, launch clarity, and recovery. Later layers are designed to expand that same foundation, not replace it.
Phase 1 — Profiles and launch control
Start by choosing the right Codex profile, seeing the current state, and making the next session deliberate instead of accidental.
Current — available now
Phase 2 — Continue from anywhere
The next layer is intended to extend that same control into remote continuation, monitoring, and approvals when you are away from the desk.
Planned next
Phase 3 — Parallel Codex work
Later, the same foundation is intended to support cleaner orchestration across multiple Codex threads, profiles, and tasks.
Planned — future product layer
Phase 4 — Multi-platform orchestration
Longer term, the premium direction is to coordinate different systems for different workstreams from one higher-level workflow.
Future premium direction
Roadmap direction only. Timing, packaging, and pricing may change. Future premium or hosted layers may be priced separately when they ship.
FAQ
Questions buyers usually ask before they install.
Most buyers want the same basics answered before they commit: what this is, what it is not, what happens after purchase, and where the line sits between today's product and the roadmap.
What exactly is Codex OAuth Profiles?
It is a Windows-first desktop control plane for Codex workflows. It gives you one place to manage Direct Profiles, launch behavior, connected accounts, and recovery instead of piecing that state together manually.
Is this just a profile switcher?
No. Direct Profiles is one part of the product, but the app also includes current-state visibility, launch control, connected accounts, activity, settings, and recovery surfaces. The point is clearer workflow control, not just toggling a profile.
Do I need an account before buying?
No. You can buy directly with your purchase email and use the success/manage recovery paths afterward. Sign-in exists later as a convenience layer, not a purchase requirement.
Is this Windows-only right now?
Windows is the most verified customer-ready path right now. Cross-platform work exists in the build and roadmap flow, but the direct launch should be understood as Windows-first.
What happens after I pay?
You get a post-purchase success path, a fulfillment email, and durable recovery links for later access. The stable Windows installer and purchase management flow are part of the direct-download experience.
Is remote access included now?
No. Remote continuation is the planned next phase, not current functionality. Today’s purchase is for the Phase 1 desktop control layer.
Is orchestration included now?
No. The current product supports direct/manual and managed launch behaviors inside the desktop app, but the larger orchestration layers are future phases. They are not part of the current sellable promise.
Does this work with Claude or Gemini too?
The app has broader provider-aware foundations, but the current direct-storefront launch is Codex-first. Direct Profiles is currently Codex-only, and any broader managed-launch messaging should be read with the relevant provider and runtime caveats.
