I’ve found myself using more and more the Codex App from OpenAI, because I like the feeling it gives me: not full IDE mode, but kinda vibing (always looking at the code). However, Codex App is not the only product from OpenAI and they always rush things. The app is buggy, feels (and is!) heavy.
So I found <a href="https://zodex.dev/?utm_source=juanpablob" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Zodex</a>, which is a pretty neat alternative which IS NOT an Electron app, therefore works extremely smooth and fast. It has a set of niceties here and there.
Definitely worth the try!!

Zodex is presented as a lightweight alternative to OpenAI's Codex App, notable for not being built on Electron, making it faster and smoother. It supports multiple AI providers and is positioned as a less buggy option for developers who want an AI coding assistant experience without a full IDE.
