Codex

Version 1.2026.125 of the ChatGPT Android application introduces a feature that allows users to remotely connect to a desktop Codex session. Prompts will instruct users to ensure Codex is open on their desktop and signed into the same account. OpenAI's blog post from April 16, 2026, mentions updates to Codex, including background computer usage, an in-app browser, improved workflow support, and alpha SSH remote connections. The remote_connections feature is in its alpha stage and can be enabled by modifying the configuration file at ~/.codex/config.toml. This addition aims to streamline mobile-triggered development workflows and enhance user experience.
