OpenAI should let users control Codex directly from the ChatGPT mobile app. Problem Developers often start Codex tasks from VS Code or web, then leave their desk. Today, mobile is mostly passive. Users cannot easily monitor, pause, approve, redirect, or resume Codex work while away. Proposal Add…

Hey @petritbahtiri24, this is a solid idea, especially the “desktop start, mobile supervise” flow. A lot of devs already treat Codex like an async teammate, so the gap becomes obvious the moment you step away from the laptop. The MVP breakdown also feels realistic. Read-only status + approval notifi…

Hi @petritbahtiri24 ! Codex mobile apps have been requested several times. I created a list of related feature requests from the official Codex GitHub repo, where you can add your vote to your personal favorites, or all of them. I have a feeling, just a feeling, that we may not have to wait too lon…

:slight_smile: Yeah, the Codex team have hinted pretty strongly that something is coming. Hopefully soon!

I was tracking hooks for months in the GitHub Codex commits, then saw Hooks are ready to graduate to GA in the next release! It pays to check the commits daily.

Thank you all honestly — I really appreciate the feedback and the discussion around the idea. What makes me happiest is not even the feature itself, but seeing that the workflow actually resonates with how people are already using Codex today. That “desktop start, mobile supervise” pattern felt nat…

Is this already in your backlog guys? Would be good to have an ETA, that feature’s really useful in Claude-code.

I do find it funny-strange (japanese word “o-ka-shii-nehh”) when people do not think outside the box. Here are some steps to get you exactly what you need, by treating a phone as what it is: a computer. Step 1: get a Redmagic Pro v7 or other high-end phone with twice the RAM of most people’s every…

The other method (which I also paradoxically used on linux by installing xrdp server) is to remote-ssh tunnel rdesktop and enable RDP on your windows machine. Once debian schroot is installed under termux “apt-get install rdesktop” is trivial, and setting up and using a VPN and/or ssh tunnel for the…

[image] OpenAI_Support: Hey @petritbahtiri24 , this is a solid idea, especially the “desktop start, mobile supervise” flow. I can’t be the only person in the world that does ChatGPT development on a smartphone with 16 GB of RAM and a 3 Ghz Octa-core ARM64 processor as an actual developer envir…
