Codex is now available on smartphones, so developers can manage their coding projects even when they are not at their desks. OpenAI announced on Thursday that its advanced coding agent is now built into the ChatGPT mobile app for both iOS and Android. The mobile launch of this application is designed for remote access, so users can check the status of active tasks running on their main computers. With Codex on their phones, users can quickly approve code changes or start new tasks without being at a computer.
Manage Coding Tasks anywhere with Codex
With the new mobile integration, users can link their phones to a computer running the Codex application. OpenAI says you just need to scan a QR code to sync the two devices. After connecting, the app displays a live view of your work, including terminal updates, code changes, and test results. This way, you can keep track of your progress without having to stay at your desk all day.
According to 9to5Mac, the mobile experience is not just a remote control but a fully-featured way to interact with your workspace. Users can switch between coding threads, change the AI models they use, and review the work Codex has found. This update is rolling out to all users, including those on the Free and Go plans, according to Seeking Alpha.
As reported by TechCrunch, this change is part of a bigger plan to make AI-powered coding easier to use and more adaptable. While the feature now needs a computer running macOS, support for Windows computers is expected soon. The goal is to let developers keep their investigations and decisions moving forward, no matter where they are.
Codex has evolved from a simple tool into a helpful mobile workspace. With this update, OpenAI is making it easier than ever for everyone to keep their coding projects moving forward using this application.
