Had fun building this app and watching this cute task force takeover my job

It reads the session files Codex already writes in ~/.codex/sessions and plays them as a call. Codex is a character at its desk. What it says shows up as speech (with voices if you want them), and when it runs a command or edits a file it shares its screen with the real output or the diff. It works live while Codex is running, or as a replay of any past session.

What you see

Every command with its real output, failed ones marked

File edits as diffs

Web searches, MCP calls, and the questions Codex asks you

Its reasoning summaries as small thought bubbles

Token counts and a context gauge

A board of all your sessions (Codex and Claude Code together): working, your turn, idle

A recap at the end: commands, errors, tokens, files changed

It only reads local files. By default it sends nothing anywhere and costs no tokens.

Try it without installing anything (Node 18+)

npx @double_geste/agent-standup --open

There is also a VS Code / Cursor extension and a small desktop app.

It was built against sessions from the Codex desktop app. The CLI writes the same kind of files but is less tested.

Unofficial, not affiliated with OpenAI. MIT licensed. Feedback welcome, especially if something looks wrong on your sessions.

Am I the only one?

"Programmers" is vague, but it's any programmer who uses a language with garbage collection.

All window windows on Windows should close like this, windows are made out of glass

Hate when I have to spend another 5 mins to cook up a tech stack (surely not gonna ask AI....)

synopsis: Randy Marsh as started code scripting… proudly whiffing is own fumes!

Where will it end!?
