Work with Codex from anywhere
Key point
Codex has come to the ChatGPT mobile app, letting you check and approve remote tasks from your phone.
Details
With Codex now in the ChatGPT mobile app, you can pick up work running on your laptop, Mac mini, or a managed remote environment right from your phone. It pulls the live status of connected devices to preserve threads, approvals, plugins, and project context as-is, while an internal secure relay layer keeps the connection alive without exposing the device directly to the public internet.
From your phone, you can start a task, review an in-progress thread, approve commands, switch models, or open a new task. Files and credentials stay on the remote machine, while screenshots, terminal output, diffs, test results, and approval history sync in real time.
- Over 4 million weekly users use Codex.
- Remote SSH and Hooks are available on all plans.
- Remote SSH automatically detects hosts from your SSH config, letting you create projects and threads inside the remote machine, while Hooks can be used for secret scanning, running validators, logging conversations, generating memory, and customizing behavior per repository or directory.
- Programmatic access tokens are provided for Enterprise and Business, and HIPAA support is available only for eligible ChatGPT Enterprise workspaces using Codex in local environments (CLI, IDE, App).
The rollout starts as a preview in the iOS and Android ChatGPT mobile apps, and will gradually extend to all plans, including Free and Go, and supported regions. To try it, update the ChatGPT mobile app and the Codex app for macOS; Windows support is coming soon.
