No, the phone connects to your local device. This isn't "codex web" on mobile. Basically you work through your desktop on your phone. So to be clear, there are security risks (you can wipe your entire desktop from your phone).
replyNot if you use Linux; app not available yet.
replyYou can run Codex Desktop on Linux. It's on AUR already. Granted, just a repacked ASAR from Windows version but still does work quite well.
Haven't tested connection to mobile yet but the integration with cloud environments already works.
replyThe announcement doesn't make this very clear, but I think this talks to the Codex CLI, not the Codex App? (Or possibly both)
replyFor now it appears that it talks only to the Codex App. Some users in this thread are saying that apparently the Codex CLI will support it on the next official release.
replyNot sure about how it works with Codex now, but with Claude you can just start a terminal session of claude code with your code checked out locally on your computer, and then enable remote control which lets you control that session from your phone.
replySo basically, it is like you are typing on your terminal on your computer from your phone.
I tried Codex web. It kinda sucks and OpenAI doesn't seem to be promoting it? Look elsewhere if you want a Linux VM in the cloud. (I quite like exe.dev and they do have good mobile support.)
replyIt's beyond terrible. Like they're routing to gpt4o mini with low effort behind the scenes. Just let us pick the model and the effort.
replyThe processes you're controlling are on your computer, similarly to Claude remote control.
