# codex vs omniget

codex and omniget share 12 technologies: axum, SQLite, Tokio, objc2-foundation, oauth2, keyring, ed25519-dalek, hmac, image, zip, tracing, and tracing-subscriber. Both are written in Rust.

- [openai/codex](https://seerepo.com/r/openai/codex): Lightweight coding agent that runs in your terminal
- [tonhowtf/omniget](https://seerepo.com/r/tonhowtf/omniget): Free, open source video downloader for Windows, macOS and Linux that AI agents can drive. Downloads from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, torrents and the sites yt-dlp supports. Its MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor and Codex queue downloads, and it runs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Ollama as agents.

| Who writes it | 2.7% of its commits signed by AI. With Codex, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot | 1.7% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, and Warp |
| Activity | Last push November 12, 2026, 13,452 commits, 134,947 stars | Last push September 27, 2026, 2,816 commits, 14,368 stars |
| Tests | 2,531 test files. 52% of its code files have a test that imports them | 113 test files. 17.6% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
