OpenClawdex: Open-source UI for Claude Code and Codex

OpenClawdex is a free, MIT-licensed open-source orchestrator UI that unifies Claude Code and Codex agents in a single lightweight interface. The creator built it to address gaps in existing tools: a desire for a polished UI comparable to the Codex app without unnecessary complexity, the ability to open files and diffs directly in the user's editor rather than in a custom sidebar, and the ability to manage both Anthropic and OpenAI agents in one place.

The tool integrates seamlessly with existing subscriptions—it uses whatever authentication the user is already logged into, so Claude Max and ChatGPT/Codex subscriptions work out of the box without additional API keys, OAuth setup, or separate billing. OpenClawdex communicates with Claude Code via the Claude Agent SDK and with Codex via its app-server JSON-RPC. Currently macOS-only, the architecture is designed to be easily extended to other platforms.
