Mode 02 · Web Assist
One shortcut, answered on the page.
Press Cmd+Shift+Enter on any page. Dexly captures it, sends it to your local Codex, and renders a copy-ready answer right on the page — no prompt typed.

See Dexly in action
From browser context to local Codex.
Two modes, two shortcuts, no copy-paste. Each demo starts as it scrolls into view and pauses when it leaves.
Mode 01 · Code Assist
Click the element, change the code.
Select live page elements, attach screenshots or console and network evidence, and let Codex edit your local workspace with approvals in view.
Web Assist shortcuts
Use Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux. Open Dexly on a page once to enable it there, then the shortcuts work with the side panel minimised.
- CmdShiftEnterCapture the full page, auto-scrolling as needed, and send it straight to Codex.
- CmdShiftSpaceCapture just the visible area and add it to the prompt without sending. Repeat after scrolling to stack several captures — useful where auto-scroll cannot reach, such as virtualised lists or embedded editors.
- CmdEnterSend everything queued, with an optional typed question from the side panel.
Two focused modes
Browser context that arrives ready to use.
Capture the right context, keep the task local, and stay in one narrow side-panel workflow.
Mode 01
Code Assist
Select precise UI elements, attach scoped screenshots, and stream a browser-grounded task into your local workspace.
- Click, drag-region, multi-select, and parent or child refinement
- Prompt preview before anything is sent
- Live approvals, command output, and file-change updates
Mode 02
Web Assist
Ask read-only questions about a live page while Codex can review relevant local workspace files for grounded guidance.
- Structured page-context answers without copying content by hand
- Optional form context for field mapping and review
- Cmd+Shift+Enter captures the whole page and answers it, with copy-ready Markdown on the page
- Cmd+Shift+Space stacks visible-area captures, then Cmd+Enter sends them — even with the panel minimised
- One active thread per workspace with recent-task continuity
Local-first by design
Data stays exactly where it belongs: with you.
Prompts, screenshots, active page URLs and titles, selected browser page content, inspect and capture interaction data, local workspace files and paths, and Codex thread history.
What stays out of the hosted backend
- Prompts and effective prompts
- Screenshots and selected-element images
- Browser DOM content and page captures
- Local workspace files and paths
- Codex thread history and transcript content
