Work with Codex from anywhere

Codex, an AI tool, is now integrated into the ChatGPT mobile app, enabling users to manage their work from anywhere. This development allows for seamless interaction with Codex across laptops, devboxes, and remote environments, ensuring continuous workflow even when users are on the go. The mobile app provides a fully-featured experience, connecting to any machine where Codex is running and loading its live state for fluid work across active threads, approvals, and plugins.

More than four million people utilize Codex weekly, highlighting the importance of timely interventions and feedback. The mobile integration allows users to quickly answer questions, review findings, change direction, and approve next steps, preventing rework and providing necessary context for Codex to progress efficiently. This instant access ensures that work keeps moving without being tied to a single machine.

The mobile app goes beyond simple remote control; it allows users to work across all threads, review outputs, approve commands, and initiate new tasks. While files, credentials, and permissions remain on the machine where Codex operates, real-time updates—including screenshots, terminal output, and test results—are streamed to the phone. This is made possible by a secure relay layer that keeps trusted machines accessible without direct exposure to the public internet.

For teams working in managed remote environments, Codex now offers Remote SSH, allowing direct connection to these setups. This feature, alongside the secure relay infrastructure, means users can start work on a desktop, steer execution from a phone, and maintain long-running tasks without interruption. The integration of Codex into the ChatGPT mobile app is rolling out in preview for iOS and Android across all plans.

This expansion enhances the ability of teams to automate, customize, and manage Codex at scale. The mobile accessibility ensures that timely guidance is always at hand, enabling users to start work when inspiration strikes, unblock tasks requiring judgment, and closely monitor results as they evolve.
