Overview
- OpenAI, which announced the update Thursday, began rolling out a preview in the ChatGPT app on iOS and Android for all plan tiers.
- The mobile app links to a Mac, Mac mini, or remote machine running Codex and loads that machine’s live state so users can review threads, approve commands, switch models, or start new work from a phone.
- Files, credentials, and permissions remain on the host device through a secure relay, and the phone receives screenshots, terminal output, code diffs, test results, and approval prompts in real time.
- The preview connects to Codex on macOS today with Windows support promised later, and it requires updating both the ChatGPT mobile app and the Codex desktop client.
- OpenAI also launched enterprise controls including Remote SSH, scoped programmatic tokens, Hooks, and HIPAA-compliant local use for eligible workspaces, and it reports more than 4 million weekly Codex users.
