### 3/5 — Some of us still need this!

*2026-06-22*

Despite OpenAI releasing a mobile Codex app, Remodex does something unique: It connects my phone to my Mac’s codex app without requiring that they be logged in with the same account. That means I can switch between subscription accounts on my Mac (multiple family members have ChatGPT but don’t use codex) and they all work with Remodex without making me switch accounts on my phone.  (Unlike Remodex, the remote Codex app only works if the phone and Mac are both logged into the same account.)  I know, niche benefit but it made Remodex worth using. The only problem I had was session or state sync issues. If I start a session on the Mac, it doesn’t always show up on Remodex. Otherwise it provided a unique benefit that I was happy to support.

### 3/5 — Stuck a lot

*2026-05-14*

The model respond too slow compared to the computer even in fast mode

**Developer response:** Could you be more specific?

I have a report button too

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2026-05-13*

It disconnects constantly for me. Also, doesn’t show all running review of codex activity. Not clear if codex is busy, disconnected, finished. I just use Remote Desktop now

### 4/5 — Really useful app

*2026-05-06*

This is by far the best optimized app to access codex on iPhone. Please bring support for iPad and it’s 5 stars from me!

**Developer response:** Working on it :)

### 4/5 — 很方便，但性能需要优化

*2026-05-04*

在 ai 输出内容的时候，软件比例会产生 bug，用起来太卡了，有时候呼卡死，希望可以解决，app 很方便，解决了很多麻烦！

**Developer response:** 1.5 is just got out with much better performances!

### 3/5 — Good stop gap

*2026-04-30*

Happy to pay for some forward thinking. OAI will release this eventually but this is great to use now. However I don’t see 5.5, any plans to add it?

**Developer response:** It’s already there

Update the codex cli
then remodex reset-pairing
then remodex up

### 5/5 — A very timely product

*2026-04-11*

The local version of Codex is truly the optimal solution. This product fulfills my need to code on my mobile phone anytime, anywhere; I hope a one-time purchase option will be introduced, and that a price reduction will be considered. I hope the updates come a bit faster.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-04-09*

Very helpful for me. Hope the developer would keep updating this app~ ☺️

### 1/5 — 不要买不要买不要买

*2026-04-08*

千万不要买 千万不要买 这是一坨狗屎 超级无敌垃圾 超级无敌垃圾 不要买不要买 浪费钱 浪费钱 浪费钱 这一一坨狗屎超级无敌狗屎

### 3/5 — 链接不稳定的解决方案

*2026-04-08*

得把 iOS 和 Mac 的 relay 服务都代理到同一个线路上，不要直连，这样才能稳定加载。

网络问题解决了，也还有其他体验问题待解决，比如聊天记录的渲染不稳定，Plan 模式不生效等问题。

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-07-10*

The app does not work, and it asked me to pay for a feature which I did and then after I did, it still did not work. It does not work as advertised and my refund request has been denied as well. This app has lost my trust and I will never download anything from this developer ever again.

**Developer response:** You can dm me on X

@emanueledpt

Please reach out to me so I can fix this for you

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-06-11*

Too expensive you get the same features for free in achatGPT app

### 1/5 — Odated products

*2026-05-15*

OpenAI has launched remote control integration in ChatGPT. It's still free.

**Developer response:** Why the 1 star tho?

You know how reviews work?

Thanks for staining my hard work!

I hope you have a wonderful day

### 1/5 — 연결좀

*2026-05-06*

연결이 안되는데 구독해도 연결이 안되거나 끊겨서 뭘 할 수가 없음.

**Developer response:** Try to update the Remodex CLI too.

That’s most likely the issue

npm i -g remodex@latest
remodex rese-pairing
remodex up

### 1/5 — Secretly paid only

*2026-05-04*

I get them want to make money on a gap in the market but really no mention is paid only, uninstalled and never installing it again

**Developer response:** First of all it’s not paid only 
You have a free tier

Second of all it is opensource, which means you can set it up for free.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing constantly

*2026-05-01*

App doesn’t work properly, it crashes non stop. I wouldn’t recommend.

**Developer response:** Will improve this in the next update soon

### 1/5 — Buggy and not easy to use

*2026-04-30*

I can’t get it to work consistently it’s just not a reliable solution. I tried for over awhile week.

**Developer response:** Will improve this in the next update soon

### 1/5 — 등신 같은걸 돈주고 파네

*2026-04-22*

에휴 긴빠이 해서 쓸게요 ㅅㄱ

### 1/5 — HARD PAYWALL. DONT WASTE UR TIME

*2026-04-15*

it’s in really early stages of development it seems like… and it’s $4 to use per month when there’s free options out there :/


Hard paywall btw

**Developer response:** I just added a 5 free messages free tier man

### 1/5 — Hard paywall. Immediately deleted.

*2026-04-09*

Can't even try the app to see if it works without paying. Not even a free trial. No thanks. Delete.

I don't care that there is an open source version that I can jump through a bunch of hoops to try. To set that up takes time and effort when I just want to try your app. Why should I do the work when you can just enable a free trial?

Stop listening to whatever influencers you are following on X telling you that the way to riches is with a hard paywall and no free trial. Maybe that works with a bunch of random TikTokers, but your audience is developers and we know how this stuff works and a hard paywall is insulting and unfriendly. Especially with many other options out there, it's just bad business.

**Developer response:** Added a 5 message free trial!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-05-28*

I use it every day ! It works mush better than codex/chatGpt version. An iPad version would be fantastic.

**Developer response:** It’s in development!!

### 5/5 — This app is seriously excellent

*2026-05-18*

Remodex has totally changed how I use Codex. It works as a smooth remote control for my Mac, so I can keep coding sessions going from anywhere. Pairing is super easy with a QR code, and the app feels polished and natural on my iPhone. Voice input, Git stuff, live monitoring, image generation, and all the new features in version 1.5 just work great.
I love the clean interface, pinned threads, per-file diffs, and how responsive everything is. No more being stuck at my desk.
Emanuele, you nailed this. Thank you for building something so thoughtful and keeping it updated. I really hope this app keeps growing and gets the attention it deserves. Indie devs like you make the App Store better.
If you’re using Codex on a Mac, grab this app. It’s free to try and totally worth it. Keep up the awesome work!

**Developer response:** You have no ideas how this warms my heart sir.

You literally gave me more stamina to keep pushing and cooking for the 2.0 version coming in a few days


Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

### 5/5 — 🫡 RIP

*2026-05-14*

You were a great app!

### 5/5 — Great product

*2026-05-12*

I tested Remodex for My business and adopded it because it saves me time without me having to stay in front of my computer

### 5/5 — 🙏

*2026-05-10*

Please make it compatible with iPad!

**Developer response:** Coming soon!

### 5/5 — Genuinely impressed

*2026-05-09*

I wanted to make this app myself, but this app is so feature complete and well made that I have no need to. This was obviously made by devs for devs. You could charge $20/month for this app and I’d pay it. Amazing work.

### 5/5 — Très pratique

*2026-05-07*

Remodex est super pratique pour travailler depuis n’importe où. Les fonctionnalités sont très bien reproduites pour vraiment être fidèle à l’app Codex.

**Developer response:** Thank you very very much!

### 5/5 — Works great for both research and coding tasks

*2026-05-01*

Was able to do some deep research on my walk.
Way nicer than ChatGPT because we could build tools to parse inputs and create data fragments. Big unlock away from the desk. ChatGPT gets super laggy with long conversations and then there’s no easy way to ask follow up questions.
Also works for iOS/macOS code. Fun times! 

Developer is super responsive and is adding new features based on my feedback.

### 5/5 — 网络优化

*2026-04-14*

大陆墙内需要双端翻墙才能稳定流畅；可以自搭relay优化网络问题

### 5/5 — 还可以，支持一下

*2026-04-11*

用了很多codex在移动端的方案，这个目前是我用过最好的，我在服务器上开放端口本地部署，延迟很低，如果能解决一下大量消息给ui带来的抖动问题，就更棒了
