It’s annoying how when accessing my Mac mini devbox from my iPhone or MacBook, it’ll often not be able to use thread controls. Randomly stops working until I retouch via sending a Codex command directly from the mini.
Codex Mobile power user guide:
Your phone is a control plane for work running on your Mac / Windows machine / devbox
The best workflows:
> start threads on the right host workspace
> pick branch worktree from mobile
run local environment setup before the task starts
> use /side for questions without derailing the main thread
> use /plan when the change is risky or more involved
> use /goal when the outcome needs multiple iterations
> attach screenshots / files / photos / voice prompts directly from your phone
review diffs, inspect files, leave inline comments
> queue or steer follow-ups while away from desk
Mental model:
- main thread = the work - side chat = reasoning around the work - plan = implementation path - goal = durable end state
Essentially, mobile makes Codex useful in all the in-between moments
See a bug on your phone → screenshot → send to Codex → review diff → leave comments → keep moving
