Codex Mobile developer Thomas shares a workflow for controlling remote development environments and executing coding tasks from a phone

If you’re getting started with Codex Mobile, @Dimillian’s guide is worth a read!

Your phone isn’t a tiny terminal. It’s a control center for directing and reviewing work running on your laptop or in the cloud.

Thomas helped build the experience, and it shows.

@Upscalpfutures Make sure you’re on the latest version of both the app as well as ChatGPT with each update we’ve made the process easier to use and sturdier

@reach_vb We are looking forward to the release of the Codex Linux desktop application. 🙏

@semihbuzgan you and me both :)

@reach_vb The main bug I'm seeing is... it not working at all.

Struggling to connect, not loading all of my threads, and then not loading threads properly when I open one.

The first few days, it was working well. Now it's useless.

@reach_vb I am.

And I forgot one more issue. More often than not, it's causing the Desktop app to crash.

@Upscalpfutures @reach_vb I’m not having these issues ! It was a bit slow to connect at first but I do see it getting better after every update

@reach_vb still can’t use it for the same reason i reported many times :(

huge bummer and feels underdeveloped

wish it would finally get fixed as it would pair nicely with my mac mini

@reach_vb another one to just give this tweet to codex and let it set you straight

One underrated aspect of agentic systems is that they compress the distance between intention and execution. You notice something. Capture it. Delegate it. Review it. Iterate on it. The biggest shift may not be automation itself, but how much less friction there is between deciding to do something and making progress on it.

@reach_vb You can also tell Codex from the Side Chat to Message the Main thread (might need the ID).

"Gather the Results of our discussion and send it to thread xy"

Or create new Threads based on a Side Chat discussion. Whats still Missing is for the model to have a Tool suggest Threads

@reach_vb Can’t see usage limits on iOS app. Visible in the Android app while checking context left.

@reach_vb What would you say is the best platform to host Codex devboxes?

@reach_vb Again, sadly this is almost unusable in windows. The codex experience is generally sad and frustrating in windows 😢

@reach_vb i tried using codex mobile it's good but dexrelay is better ...

Also, look at my account. Hard disagree that you're making each update more sturdy.

Only yesterday I posted about a breaking issue the Desktop app installer that needed a post-update manual fix.

This has happened multiple times with the Desktop app - a new update breaks the app.

@Joedefendre @reach_vb Excellent. Good for you.

@reach_vb @semihbuzgan I seem to be hitting 5 hour limits on my $100 pro plan way faster than normal and just had Codex Mac app crash twice. This a known current issue?

@reach_vb The underrated shift here is where the bottleneck moves. On a phone you can't comfortably scan a 600 line diff, so you front load intent with /plan and /goal instead of correcting after the fact. The constraint quietly makes you a better delegator.
