Codex Can Now Be Guided From Your Phone
Codex is now in the ChatGPT mobile app: long-running work can stay on your computer while you steer it from your phone

- OpenAI has added Codex to the ChatGPT mobile app in preview. The agent still runs on your computer, Mac mini, or remote machine, while your phone lets you follow the task, answer questions, approve commands, review terminal output, diffs, and test results.
- This is not a mobile coding environment. Files, credentials, and local setup stay on the machine where Codex is running. The phone receives the live state of the work and gives you a way to step in when the agent needs a decision.
- OpenAI says the connection uses a secure relay layer, keeping trusted machines reachable across devices without exposing them directly to the public internet. That matters for a tool that can see a repository, terminal output, diffs, and command results.
- The useful moment is simple: Codex investigates a bug, finds two possible fixes, and asks which path to take. Instead of waiting until you return to the laptop, you can answer from the phone and keep the task moving.
- OpenAI says Codex now has more than 4 million weekly users. The company introduced the Codex desktop app for macOS in February and is now bringing agent supervision into ChatGPT on iOS and Android.
- Habr notes that mobile Codex is rolling out across all plans, including Free and Go. OpenAI also made Remote SSH and Hooks available on all plans, while programmatic access tokens are available for Business and Enterprise. Phone connection to Codex on Windows is coming later.
