Supported distros include Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 LTS, Debian 13, and Fedora 43 and 44, with native .deb and .rpm packages for x64 and ARM64. The app includes an in-app browser with Chrome extension support, but notably lacks computer-use capabilities outside the browser. The piece also contextualizes the app's role alongside the existing Codex CLI and IDE extensions, positioning the desktop app as a visual coordination layer for multi-agent and multi-project workflows rather than a CLI replacement. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
