# Tell HN: The Codex App is replaced by ChatGPT > Source: > Published: 2026-07-13 10:12:59+00:00 Hi HN. Today Codex (macOS) prompted to upgrade, and it failed - the app is gone, but was not replaced. The dock icon shows a question mark. To fix this I tried to download the Codex app from OpenAI. https://developers.openai.com/codex/app redirects to ChatGPT. The Codex page itself (https://openai.com/codex/) talks about 'now in ChatGPT' and prompts to download. Sure enough, downloading what appears to be Codex downlaods ChatGPT -- and so opening 'Codex' loads all my personal chats, non-work conversations, etc. I cannot emphasise enough how much this is a disaster. I cannot mix my personal and work use - not least just for keeping them separate (I do *not* want to see personal chats while working.) The OpenAI claim seems to be that you can run it in Codex mode? Yet there is *zero* UI for this. ChatGPT claims it's got the latest installed. Currently my entire Codex workflow is gone. Some form of Codex is still available via GitHub releases, latest here: https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.144.3 but I cannot find the app itself. There is the CLI, the app server... 163 different downloads, but no macOS Codex app. Comments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48890384](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48890384) Points: 1 # Comments: 1
