## What it is
Codex++ is a tweak loader that patches the OpenAI Codex desktop app to load local tweaks from a user-directory runtime, enabling UI changes, settings pages, main-process code, and native OS-level features. It includes CLI tools for install, repair, and tweak development, plus a watcher that re-applies patches after Codex updates.

## Use cases
- customize the Codex desktop app UI
- add settings pages to Codex
- run custom main-process code in Codex
- load local tweaks without rebuilding the app
- auto-repair patches after Codex updates
- develop native macOS tweaks with AppKit and Metal access

## When to choose
- you want to extend or modify the Codex desktop app locally
- you need tweak hot-loading without rebuilding the app bundle
- you want automatic patch recovery after app updates

## When to avoid
- you need an officially supported extension mechanism
- you cannot accept risk from modifying a proprietary app
- you do not use the Codex desktop app
