Codex for Windows can now talk to Codex on Mac and ChatGPT on iOS and Android

If you’re stuck using a PC, OpenAI’s Codex app is gaining two features that started on the Mac version: Computer Use and remote control.

Remote control for Codex on Windows extends to the Codex Mac app as well as the ChatGPT app for iPhone, iPad, and Android.

These are the release notes for today’s Codex desktop app release, which mention the new features:

New features

• Computer Use now works on Windows. Codex can operate Windows desktop apps by seeing, clicking, and typing in the foreground while it works.
• Remote control now supports Windows devices. You can start Codex work on a Windows device from ChatGPT on iOS or Android, or from a Mac running Codex, and check its progress remotely.
• The Profile section now shows your profile details, usage stats, and token activity.

Performance improvements and bug fixes

• Additional performance improvements and bug fixes.

OpenAI has also continued to improve Codex remote control reliability on iOS while bringing more of the desktop app experience to the mobile app:

Last week, Codex for Mac added a new Appshots feature for instantly giving Codex better context. Codex for Mac also added the ability to support remote control access while the Mac is locked and sleeping.
