Cross-Device Sync for Fluid Codex Collaboration
Connect the ChatGPT mobile app to Codex running on laptops, Mac minis, or remote environments to access live session state, including threads, approvals, plugins, and project context. Files, credentials, and setup remain secure on the host machine, while real-time updates like screenshots, terminal output, diffs, and test results stream to your phone. A secure relay layer enables reachability without public internet exposure and syncs state across signed-in ChatGPT devices. This setup supports working across all threads: review outputs, approve commands, switch models, or launch new tasks without remote control limitations.
Mobile Interventions to Accelerate Long-Running Tasks
Use your phone to unblock Codex during extended operations, preventing rework and maintaining momentum. Specific workflows include: starting bug investigations (inspect files, reproduce issues, run tests, review diffs); directing refactor decision points (evaluate tradeoffs mid-commute); synthesizing customer support updates for briefings; or capturing fresh ideas into active threads. These check-ins—answering questions, approving steps, or adding context—leverage Codex's environment for accurate execution, keeping progress aligned until you return to a desktop.
Enterprise Integrations for Managed Environments
Remote SSH (now generally available) auto-detects SSH-configured hosts, enabling projects and threads inside secure remote setups with approved dependencies and policies. Teams gain programmatic access tokens (Enterprise/Business) for CI/CD and automations; hooks for prompt scanning, validation, logging, memories, or repo-specific customization; and HIPAA compliance in local CLI/IDE/app for healthcare workflows. Mobile access extends to these environments via the relay, allowing desktop starts, phone steering, and continuous task progression.
Immediate Availability Across Plans
Codex mobile preview rolls out on iOS/Android for all plans (Free, Go, etc.) in supported regions—update ChatGPT and macOS Codex apps. Windows mobile support forthcoming. Remote SSH and hooks available everywhere; tokens and HIPAA limited to Enterprise/Business as noted.
