Codex Desktop
Configure MiloRouter on Windows or macOS and make Codex Desktop reload the settings.
Before you begin
- Create an API key for the Codex-GPT group
- Choose Use Key on the key row
- Copy the generated Codex configuration
- Select your operating system and authentication mode
Configuration files
| System | config.toml | auth.json |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | %userprofile%\.codex\config.toml | %userprofile%\.codex\auth.json |
| macOS / Linux | ~/.codex/config.toml | ~/.codex/auth.json |
Authentication mode
Compatibility mode keeps the older Codex configuration. API Key Mode authorizes the client's image executor and requires the generated request header.
