About the project

A home for themes.
Built around their makers.

Get Codex Theme is an independent, open-source theme format, local toolchain, and creator-attributed public Registry for Codex Desktop.

Why it exists

Personal software should feel personal.

Codex is where people spend real working hours. Themes can make that space calmer, clearer, more accessible, or simply more expressive—but only when installation is reversible, authorship is visible, and distribution is accountable.

The project separates three things that are often blurred together: a portable theme pack, a local compatibility layer, and a public Registry. That separation makes every change easier to inspect, validate, and restore.

01

Creator identity first

Published work is attributed to a public GitHub or X identity. Platform-scoped profile pages keep attribution useful without exposing internal account identifiers.

02

Automation with boundaries

Codex can create, validate, test, and publish, but server-side checks, separate capabilities, explicit confirmation, and reversible local changes remain authoritative.

03

Inspect before trust

The pack format, CLI, local runtime, validators, restoration path, and first-party themes are open source and testable.

04

Free community infrastructure

Browsing, creating, publishing, and installing are designed as a free public workflow. Rankings use observable community activity, not paid placement.

Independent project

Not affiliated with OpenAI.

Get Codex Theme is an unofficial community project. It does not claim endorsement by OpenAI, GitHub, X, or creators whose public profile links appear as attribution.
