Codex has been great in the last 3-4 months I've been using it, almost exclusively to review existing GDScript code, and this was the feature I wanted most, because with gamedev you get the best ideas when you're out and about or in bed :)

Claude on the other hand has been jank all around from the UX to the UI to the AI itself that it's baffling how it's more popular here on HN: https://i.imgur.com/jYawPDY.png

Sadly this remote control feature doesn't seem to be for Mac to Mac yet? I love the MacBook Neo as a "thin client" for AI and keep the MacBook Pro at home/hotel, and it would be nice to share Codex desktop sessions (without SSH → resume link)

This is really useful for when you just need to approve plans or make small decisions.

It's refreshing that unlike Anthropic's Remote Control, this actually... works.

Feels like a testament to the value in taking time and doing it properly.

Now if only codex got its 1M token context window back.

Edit: Hmmm. Maybe I spoke too soon. Sigh. Definitely _more_ reliable by far overall, but still have queued messages with responses on my phone that don't show up on my computer, and responses that don't show up on my phone.

Edit 2: New threads created from my phone seem to have a little stall-out, but ones that are underway are behaving reasonably well.

Out of curiosity, what issues did you face with remote control on claude? I use it daily and it seems to work pretty well (bar the issues when my Mac would sleep and then the session would disconnect, but that's an issue on my end).

My own experience has been that it works for about five minutes before it just disconnects or hangs. I’ve never been able to use it successfully.

Myriad, to be honest. I find it to just constantly be in a 'torn' state, the UI is very mushy on mobile with a lot of the affordances from desktop missing, and... it's distinctly less useful when you can't... edit, rewind, start a new thread, etc.

Made a menu bar app you may find useful for MacBook sleep prevention, even when the lid is closed:

So the whole idea is not to make work more efficient. It's just to make you work more, all the time, while waiting for your coffee, while in your commute.

Ask yourselves: is that the society we want?

Or just ask if you might want to do something productive while you wait for a train or sit in a taxi? Better than doom scrolling. Maybe you're working on a fun side project.

Say what you want about OpenAI, but their software is actually pretty dam good especially compared to Anthropic and Google. Anthropic is just sloppy, and Google just doesn't live on this planet.

Both of the Codex apps are very good.

I tried this out and it works significantly better than Claude's remote control in fact the first few times I tried Claude's remote control it didn't even work and to this day is very buggy.

I use remote-control every day and haven't had many issues with it, aside from the fact that the mobile app being pretty limited, e.g there are no prompt suggestions like slash commands and skills, everything in the textbox is just a raw string. You also can’t start a new session directly from the app (have to SSH into the host manually to do that)

Other than those limitations, the connection has been very stable for me, definitely more reliable than alternatives like happy.engineering or Omnara. What’s been buggy for you specifically?

Can someone explain how the ChatGPT Codex Connector works in concert with GitHub access controls? I am not sure how to add it to my GitHub repositories, accounts, or organizations without potentially giving any OpenAI customer access.
