One card, one scope
Codex works from a single card rather than a growing chat. The task boundary is the card boundary, so runs stay small enough to review.
Codex task board
Codex task board for scoped work with the context attached
runnrr is a local-first Mac board where Codex picks up one scoped card at a time, reads the markdown context already attached to it, and works under your own CLI login.
Short answer
Yes, runnrr is built for this workflow.
runnrr gives Codex a board instead of a blank prompt. Cards live on your Mac, the meeting note and linked files stay attached to the card, and pressing play starts Codex as a local process that reads the card before it does anything.
Agent runs do not route through a runnrr server. Codex runs on your machine under the login you already pay for, and every tool call waits for your approval, so you can stop a run the moment it heads somewhere you did not intend.
Why it fits
The board keeps the work, the source, and the agent in one place
Context travels with the card
The meeting note, linked markdown files, and decisions stay attached. Codex reads them before it starts instead of asking you to paste them again.
Your login, your machine
runnrr spawns Codex as a local process under your own CLI login. No second subscription, no agent account, and no run history on our servers.
Workflow
From capture to execution
Put the work on the board
Create a card from a meeting, a note, a Claude conversation, or any selection on your Mac.
Attach what Codex will need
Link the markdown files, transcript, or decision that explains the task. This is the context Codex reads first.
Press play and approve each step
Codex starts locally, works from the card, and waits for you on every tool call. The card moves to Review when the run finishes.
FAQ
Questions people ask before trying it
Does runnrr need its own Codex API key?
No. runnrr starts the Codex CLI you already have installed, under your own login. There is no separate key to add and no second subscription.
Can I use Codex and Claude Code on the same board?
Yes. Cards are agent-agnostic. You choose which agent picks up a given card, and both read the same attached markdown context.
Does my code or context get uploaded anywhere?
Not for agent runs. Codex runs as a local process reading local files, and nothing about the run reaches our servers. runnrr does have opt-in networked features, including cloud sync, the Granola scan, Slack, the web app, and public note links. All are off until you turn them on, and the privacy page covers each one.
