Configure Git branches, isolate runs in separate worktrees, and trigger autonomous workflows right from your phone. โข Workspace Chat: Interact with your AI agents in real-time. Ask architectural questions, attach photos for visual context, and use your microphone to record voice memos for hands-free prompting. โข Task Management: Monitor your issue board, update task statuses, and review active agent runs in a sleek, native mobile interface. Please Note: This is a companion application and requires the Zodex desktop software running on the same local network to function.
Codex Live Bar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keep Codex limits visible while you work. Codex Live Bar shows session, weekly, and model-specific usage in a focused Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Create two private Shortcuts automations and the Live Activity can appear when ChatGPT opens and disappear when it closes. Refresh from the app, Shortcuts, or the Live Activity itself. Everything runs on your device. Authentication tokens stay in the iOS Keychain, usage is fetched directly from OpenAI, and there are no analytics, ads, tracking, accounts, or developer servers. Codex Live Bar is an independent client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI. The app relies on an undocumented OpenAI endpoint that may change.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Zodex at 15.1 against Codex Live Bar's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
