They’ve addressed that. Codex in the ChatGPT app on iOS is way better than Claude Code now.
You sign in the Codex app on your Mac same on iOS and are able to completely control your sessions - fork, side chats, plugins - everything.
It’s really great i often work through it. And you can connect any number of Codex instances on any number of macs and then manage them all through the iOS app.
maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't want to sign into the app on a mac - I want to run the CLI on a headless linux server and control the sessions from my iPhone. Does Codex allow that now?
1. Run `codex remote-control --help` directly on your Linux server.
2. From the desktop app, connect to your Linux box, start Codex there, and make it remotely controllable.
I do that with Termux on my Android phone. I set up dynamic DNS and wireguard on my router so I can reach my LAN from anywhere. I just enable wireguard and ssh in.
Not sure if there's a Termux equivalent for iPhone.
Free, OSS, pretty great for ssh via VPN => tmux a => codex/claude
I set up Codex to send a notification when done over Pushover (https://pushover.net). With this setup, you can just ssh into a Mac or Linux box either way.
Hmm, I don't have a desktop computer. I prefer my laptop be used for other purposes, and can sleep when not in use, instead of running a coding agent 24x7. That's why I prefer running coding agents in the cloud.
You can do that too. Start working locally, then just do /handoff to transfer your session to the cloud and then work through the Codex app on your phone.
