User finds OpenAI Codex desktop app handles everyday tasks, offers higher thinking tier and separate usage limits from ChatGPT Plus
English summary
A Reddit user reports that the Codex desktop app is not limited to coding; it includes an 'everyday tasks' mode. The app gives access to a higher thinking tier with generous usage limits and does not redirect users to models they have not selected. Compared to ChatGPT, the user finds Codex more agent-like and more reliable in model selection. Codex usage limits are entirely separate from ChatGPT Plus limits, meaning Plus subscribers get additional capacity.
