ChatGPT App: Control Codex Coding Tools Remotely

OpenAI's Codex coding tools are now available through the ChatGPT mobile app for Android and iOS. This means you can remotely control your coding projects from your phone. Here's the thing: you won't program directly on your device. Instead, your phone acts as a remote for your main coding environment, like your home computer or laptop. You can manage your work, review outputs, approve commands, and even change models. What's interesting is this allows you to keep your system running and make changes even when you're away from your computer. For example, you can respond to Codex prompts while commuting or running errands. This new option is in the latest ChatGPT mobile app and is available across all plans, including free versions. OpenAI notes this is a "preview" feature. Over four million people use Codex tools weekly. This matters because it offers greater flexibility and continuous workflow for those using Codex coding tools.
