I built a way to continue my local Codex sessions from my phone (open source)

I built something to solve a problem I kept running into with Codex:

When running long local coding sessions (tests, refactors, agents, etc), I often need to step away from my desk — but I still want to monitor progress, read outputs, or even continue the session.

So I built RemoteCode.io.

It lets you:

- Access your local Codex sessions from your phone

- Resume conversations or start new ones

- Stream outputs (logs, test results, etc) in real time

- Work on your own machine (not a cloud IDE)

How it works (high level):

- A small server runs locally on your machine

- Mobile app connects via secure channel (direct or relay)

- You can choose between self-hosting (fully free) or using a hosted relay

Why I built it:

Most tools assume you're always at your desk. But with long-running AI workflows, that's not realistic anymore. I want to be free and still productive.

Repo (open source):

Would love feedback from people using Codex heavily:

- Is this something you'd actually use?

- What would be missing for your workflow?
