Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)
• pnpm
• Rust

Build from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Lampese/codex-switcher.git
cd codex-switcher

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Run in development mode
pnpm tauri dev

# Build for production
pnpm tauri build

The built application will be in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.

Run the Dashboard in a Browser

You can also serve the built dashboard over HTTP instead of opening the Tauri shell.

# Build the frontend and start the web server on 0.0.0.0:3210
pnpm lan

Optional environment variables:

• CODEX_SWITCHER_WEB_HOST to override the bind host
• CODEX_SWITCHER_WEB_PORT to override the port

The browser dashboard serves the same UI and backend actions through /api/invoke/*, which makes it usable over LAN, Tailscale, or a remote host tunnel when you expose the chosen port safely.
