Providers
Coddo can run tasks and chats with either Claude Code or OpenAI Codex CLI. Authenticate each provider from Settings — the provider step is also part of onboarding and can be skipped if you want to configure it later.| Provider | Models |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.7, Haiku 4.5 |
| Codex CLI | GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, GPT-5.4 Mini, 5.3 Codex, 5.3 Codex Spark |
Default models
Set the default model for chats and tasks separately. The default applies when you create a new chat or task — you can always override it per item. You can also jump to the Codex usage view from Settings to track Codex consumption alongside the Claude API usage dashboard.Execution
Configure how tasks and chats behave by default:| Setting | Options | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Default execution mode | Worktree / Direct / Last used | Which mode new tasks default to |
| Default chat mode | Execution / Plan | Whether new chats default to execution or plan mode |
| Default column | Backlog / Todo / Last used | Which column new tasks are created in |
| Concurrency | 1 to 5 | Maximum number of worktree tasks running in parallel |
Notifications
Coddo sends native OS notifications to keep you informed when the app is in the background:- Chat completed — When the agent finishes a response
- Action required — When the agent needs your input (e.g. a question or approval)
Git settings
- Direct mode auto-commit - Automatically create Git commits when a task in direct mode completes
- Direct mode branch picker - Show a branch selector when creating tasks in direct mode
Voice dictation
Pick the transcription language Whisper should use for the mic button in chat and task creation. Pinning the language meaningfully improves accuracy on short utterances. See Voice Dictation for the full details.Account
Signing in with a Coddo account is optional. You only need it for:- Voice transcription quota (free tier and subscription)
- Cross-device account sync of name, avatar, and plan
Privacy
Anonymous metrics are opt-in. Toggle them on if you want to help us improve Coddo with anonymized usage data — nothing is sent unless you explicitly enable it.API usage
A direct link to your Claude API usage dashboard to monitor your consumption. The Codex usage entry takes you to the Codex consumption view in the same way.Keyboard shortcuts
