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.

Would love feedback from people using Codex heavily:
- Is this something you'd actually use?
- What would be missing for your workflow?
