Claude Code Remote Control equivalent for Codex, but requires local macOS install.

Strengths

•Reuses actual Codex.app web assets instead of reimplementing the UI
•Shims Electron host APIs for terminal PTY and git worker in browser
•LAN exposure with session token enables phone or tablet access

Weaknesses

•MacOS-only since it depends on local Codex.app bundle extraction
•Derivative of Claude Code's existing remote control feature, not novel

Post Description

I created Pocodex because I didn't want to be inaccessible to my Codex agents when I went to the toilet!

Pocodex lets you use Codex.app in a regular browser, including on your phone or any other remote device. It's like Claude Code's Remote Control, but for Codex.

Almost everything should work: terminal, git viewer, file mentions, slash commands, skills. All work and all are mobile friendly.

It runs the real Codex desktop UI in your browser by reusing Codex.app’s web assets, injecting a browser bridge and shimming features like terminal + git viewer.
