Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app lets users interact from a phone with Codex sessions running on their own laptops, dedicated machines (such as a Mac mini), or managed remote environments. From the app, users can view live threads, review outputs, approve commands, change models, answer clarifying questions, redirect work, or start new threads.\n\nFiles, credentials, permissions and local setup stay on the machine where Codex runs. Updates such as screenshots, terminal output, diffs, test results and approvals are streamed back to the phone through a secure relay layer, which avoids exposing machines directly to the public internet and keeps session state synced across devices signed in with ChatGPT.\n\nThe feature was announced on 14 May 2026 as a preview on iOS and Android across all plans, including Free and Go. At launch it requires the Codex app on macOS; support for connecting to the Codex app on Windows was described as coming soon. The announcement also covered Remote SSH (generally available), hooks, programmatic access tokens, and HIPAA-compliant local use of Codex for ChatGPT Enterprise workspaces.
