Remote control
Send prompts, stream progress, inspect output, and approve Codex actions from iPhone.
Code Remote for Codex
Control Codex on your Mac from your iPhone. Send prompts, stream output, approve actions, and keep long-running work moving from anywhere.
LAN-first Bonjour discovery
Local pairing code and bearer token
Remote-ready HTTPS tunnel
Built for focused Codex work away from your desk.
The Mac Bridge connects the iOS app to your own Mac, mirrors Desktop context, and gives you a compact control surface for real development sessions.
Desktop continuity
Sync Codex Desktop projects and conversations, then resume an existing thread from the phone.
Secure by design
Pair locally with a short-lived code, then use saved device identity and bearer-token authorization.
Flexible connectivity
Use automatic mode to prefer local LAN and fall back to a per-device Cloudflare Tunnel when away.
LAN-first. Remote when you need it.
On the same network, the app discovers your Mac through Bonjour. Away from home, it reaches the Bridge through an outbound-only HTTPS tunnel.
Local route
Bonjour discovery on your LAN, paired to the saved device ID.
Remote route
A per-Mac HTTPS hostname forwards to MacCodexBridge through Cloudflare Tunnel.
Pairing and privacy stay anchored to your Mac.
Code Remote is shaped around a simple boundary: the phone talks to the Bridge running on your own Mac, while the control plane only needs routing state.
Local-only pairing
First-time pairing uses a 6-digit code shown on the Mac. The code expires after five minutes and is not accepted through proxy forwarding.
Device-bound switching
Automatic LAN switching is restricted to the paired device ID, so the app will not silently adopt another Mac on the same network.
One Desktop stream
The Bridge keeps Desktop and mobile actions in one shared Codex session stream.
Get started in three steps.
Install the Mac Bridge, pair once on your LAN, then keep Codex running while you move.
