At least when I tried it last, Claude Cowork tried to spin up an entire virtual machine to sandbox itself properly - and not only is that sandboxing slow to start up, it also makes it difficult to actually interact freely across your filesystem. (Perhaps a feature, not a bug.)

Codex is a rust TUI app, and it's available as open source. It has nothing to do with Electron.

replyI just updated Codex and looked inside the macOS app package. It is most definitely still an Electron app.

the codex desktop app is electron, as is claudes
