Glossa

Let regular ChatGPT work on your computer.

Codex has been running out for me. If you're a power user, you probably have the same problem.

I know, I know. Tibo has been generous with the usage resets. He's a nice guy, but it's low-key not enough.

Regular ChatGPT usage is separate from codex. I'm running out of one, why leave the other sitting there?

Glossa lets me put it (chatgpt.com usage) to work. Connect Glossa to regular ChatGPT, and it can read and edit the files. With command access enabled, it can run the project's tools, build it and inspect the results (even visually!).

I also want to put ChatGPT's Pro mode to work on my projects, which is not even available on codex.

One objection I've heard is that people don't want to run an MCP server on their own machine. Fair enough. With Glossa, the MCP server is on the hosted relay. You run a small local worker, not a Docker stack or a publicly reachable server.

Glossa uses regular ChatGPT's model allowances, separate from the allowance Work and Codex share, which allows you to actually make use of the other half of your subscription
