Codex-profiles – isolated Codex CLI/Desktop profiles
by chaipinzheng·Jul 8, 2026·3 points·0 comments
AI Analysis
●●SolidCozySolve My Problem
Parallel Desktop instances with separate Electron user data is genuinely clever.
Strengths
- •Zero runtime dependencies—pure Bash CLI tested on macOS and Ubuntu
- •Safe config cloning refuses sensitive-looking keys to prevent auth leakage
- •Read-only diagnostics and doctor commands inspect profiles without side effects
Weaknesses
- •Tied exclusively to Codex—limited audience until Codex gains wider adoption
- •Fundamentally environment variable switching wrapped in a polished CLI

Switch Codex accounts without leaving the terminal
If you juggle personal and work Codex keys, this CLI removes the manual copy/paste by saving named accounts and swapping ~/.codex/auth.json for you. It also backs up the current auth file and refreshes expired tokens before a switch — small, pragmatic safety choices that matter for everyday use.
