OpenAI launches Codex mobile in ChatGPT app for on-the-go coding
Manage Codex coding sessions from your phone while it runs remotely.
OpenAI has introduced Codex mobile in preview within the ChatGPT mobile app, now available on iOS and Android in all supported regions. This feature allows developers to initiate new coding tasks, review generated outputs, steer execution in real time, and approve subsequent steps—all from their phone. The actual Codex environment continues running on a connected laptop, Mac mini, or dedicated devbox, enabling seamless remote management of complex coding sessions.
This update significantly enhances developer flexibility, allowing users to monitor and control code generation while away from their primary workstation. The mobile interface focuses on light-touch oversight, such as approving generated code or adjusting parameters, without requiring full desktop capabilities. Support for connecting phones to Codex on Windows is expected soon, broadening the ecosystem. For professionals leveraging AI-assisted development, Codex mobile reduces friction between desk and mobile workflows, potentially accelerating iteration cycles and enabling quicker response to coding tasks from anywhere.
- Preview launched today on iOS and Android in all supported regions.
- Users can start, review, steer execution, and approve next steps from the mobile app.
- Codex runs on a connected laptop, Mac mini, or devbox; Windows support is coming soon.
