# Codex on your pad

> Codex comes preinstalled and current, signed in with your own account, on a machine that stays up through the run.

Part of the reachpad docs: https://reachpad.dev/docs. Rendered page: https://reachpad.dev/docs/codex.

## Your account, your auth

Sign in on first run with your own account, as you would locally. reachpad runs the agent; it does not sit between you and your provider.

## Config lives on the pad

Configuration lives in your home directory and survives between visits. The pad keeps the agent itself current between your sessions.

## Next to other agents

The common pattern is planning in one workspace with Claude Code and implementing in another with Codex, each in its own tab, each signed in to its own account. See [running several agents at once](https://reachpad.dev/docs/multiple-agents).
