OpenAI launches Codex in ChatGPT mobile app for iOS, Android

OpenAI launches Codex in ChatGPT mobile app for iOS and Android. Developers can monitor, manage, and approve coding tasks from their smartphones.

"Real-time updates such as screenshots, terminal output, diffs, test results and approvals are synced to the mobile app - OpenAI"

New Delhi, May 15

OpenAI -- the parent company of ChatGPT -- has integrated its AI coding assistant Codex into the ChatGPT mobile app for iOS and Android users, allowing developers to monitor, manage and approve coding tasks remotely from their smartphones.

The feature is currently being introduced in preview mode across all ChatGPT plans, including Free and Go, in supported regions.

With the integration, users can connect their phones to machines running Codex -- including laptops, Mac minis, devboxes and managed remote environments -- and access live project updates directly through the ChatGPT app.

According to OpenAI, the mobile experience allows users to review outputs, approve commands, switch AI models, start new coding tasks and monitor ongoing threads without returning to their desktop systems.

"Real-time updates such as screenshots, terminal output, diffs, test results and approvals are synced to the mobile app, while files, credentials and permissions remain on the connected machine," the AI company said.

The company further highlighted that more than 4 million users are now using Codex every week.

"Remote SSH support and hooks are now generally available across all plans, while programmatic access tokens have been introduced for Enterprise and Business users," the company said.

In addition, OpenAI said HIPAA-compliant use of Codex in local environments will be supported for eligible ChatGPT Enterprise workspaces, aimed at healthcare and enterprise applications.

The company announced that support for connecting the ChatGPT mobile app to Codex running on Windows systems will be introduced soon.

As a software engineer in Bangalore, I've been using Codex on desktop for debugging sessions. This mobile integration is a game-changer — now I can check builds and review diffs even when I'm away from my desk. But I'm concerned about security: if my phone gets compromised, could someone access my connected machines? OpenAI needs to clarify encryption measures for Indian users. 🇮🇳

Interesting move from OpenAI. While I appreciate the convenience, I'm skeptical about the "preview mode" rollout. Indian developers should test this thoroughly before relying on it for critical projects. Also, 4 million users is impressive, but many of us in smaller startups can't afford enterprise plans — hope the Free tier remains useful.

Been waiting for this! As a freelancer working from a small town in Rajasthan, having Codex on my phone means I can check client projects even when I'm visiting remote areas. However, the article mentions HIPAA compliance — is there any similar data protection for Indian users under the new Digital Personal Data Protection Act? OpenAI should address this. 😊

This is nice for monitoring, but I wonder how often developers will actually use it. Approving code from a phone sounds risky — miss one detail and you push a bug to production. OpenAI should implement stricter approval workflows. Still, for simple tasks like checking test results, it's a solid addition.

Exciting for the developer community in India! I just wish they'd announced Windows support first — so many of us use Windows machines for development. The "coming soon" promise
