OpenAI Brings Codex to ChatGPT Mobile and Enables Remote SSH
OpenAI
OpenAI released Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app for iOS and Android, enabling users to monitor active Codex sessions remotely — reviewing diffs, terminal output, test results, and screenshots — and approve or reject proposed commands from their phone while the agent runs on a desktop or devbox. The update also brings Remote SSH to general availability with new programmatic access tokens for Business and Enterprise automation. Over 4 million users interact with Codex weekly.
Why it matters
Making agentic coding asynchronous and phone-accessible removes a key friction point: developers no longer need to babysit long-running coding tasks at their desks. Enterprise programmatic tokens unlock CI/CD and automated pipeline use cases.
