Codex live environments become viewable from your phone
OpenAI says its Codex coding tool is going mobile, integrated directly into the ChatGPT app for iOS and Android. In preview now for all plans, users can monitor Codex’s live environments across any device where it’s running, review outputs, approve commands, change models, or start new threads from their phone. The move follows earlier Codex updates, including background desktop execution and a Chrome extension for live browser sessions—intensifying competition with Anthropic’s remote control features.
