Follow and continue Codex coding tasks on your Mac from iPhone. Browse projects, search conversations, review changes, and send your next instruction wherever you are. Stay on top of your work • Browse conversations by project, search titles and message text, and archive conversations you no longer need. • Read messages, plans, command output, file changes, images, and subagent activity. • Get notifications for completed replies, ready plans, failures, and items needing your attention. Tap to return to the conversation. Continue from your phone • Start conversations using a Mac folder, Git branch, or worktree. • Send text, images, and files, and search for other conversations to reference. Drafts save automatically. • Use slash commands, skills, plugins, and code review, with model and Plan mode controls. • Edit and resend messages, revert later conversation history, and revert or reapply supported file changes. • View Codex usage, limits, credit balance, and the limit resets available to your account. Easier input On-device voice transcription requires iOS 26 and supported hardware and languages. Next-message suggestions depend on your Codex version, account, and model. You choose whether to adopt a suggestion and send it. Explore before connecting Tap Try Demo on the initial connection screen to browse sample projects and conversations without a Mac or Codex sign-in. Demo replies and execution results are simulated locally; real tasks require a connection to your own Mac. Free access and subscriptions Reading is always free. Each iPhone includes 10 free sends, counted when accepted by the agent; this quota does not reset monthly. After using them, choose a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription for unlimited Pocket sending. Both plans provide the same benefits. Manage subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Pocket subscriptions do not include Codex service access or usage credits. Real execution uses your own Codex account and remains subject to its permissions and usage limits. Connection and privacy • Pair iPhone and Mac with a one-time QR code, using a local network or encrypted internet connection. • End-to-end encryption protects communication between iPhone and Mac. The relay does not read conversation plaintext, and Codex sign-in credentials stay on your Mac. Requirements • iPhone: iOS 17 or later. • Mac: macOS 14 or later, Code Pocket Bridge 1.0.2, and Codex CLI 0.153.4 or later, installed and signed in. • Real tasks and notifications require Bridge to remain running and online. Notifications apply to conversations you have participated in from Pocket. • Features depend on Codex version, account, model, and conversation permissions. History revert does not undo project file changes or external actions.
