Overview
Friday for Codex is a local macOS wake flow built to make Codex feel immediately useful the moment I call for it.
What It Does
The system:
- opens the correct workspace
- plays an immediate greeting
- reads out a cached spoken briefing
- refreshes the underlying context every 30 minutes in the background
The briefing can pull from recent work context such as Chronicle summaries, Codex chats, email, and calendar.
Why It Matters
The interesting part is not just the voice trigger. It is the whole latency story around it: wake-up should feel instant, context should already exist, and the system should stay local and dependable.
