Overview
- OpenAI started rolling out the preview on Thursday to iOS and Android across all ChatGPT plans, including Free and Go.
- The ChatGPT app loads the live state of any Mac or remote environment running Codex so users can review outputs, approve commands, switch models, or start new work from their phones.
- Data stays on the host machine as a secure relay streams screenshots, terminal output, diffs, test results, and approval requests back to the phone.
- Getting started requires updating the Codex desktop app and ChatGPT mobile app, then pairing with a QR code, with Windows host support listed as coming soon.
- OpenAI paired the launch with enterprise features such as Remote SSH and Hooks now generally available, scoped access tokens for automation, HIPAA support for eligible workspaces, and it reports over 4 million weekly Codex users as it competes with Anthropic’s Claude Code.
