About

Codex Live Bar

Features
Read 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.

About

REMOREMO

Remote desktop was made for desktops. REMOREMO is made for your iPhone. REMOREMO is a remote desktop client built around a simple idea: on a phone, seeing and controlling a remote computer should not require squeezing an entire desktop interface into a tiny screen. Instead, REMOREMO gives you a clear desktop overview, a large touch-friendly trackpad, and Instant Zoom controls that let you jump directly to the part of the screen you want to see. Whether you are checking a remote PC, watching a long-running task, inspecting a server or development machine, or making a quick adjustment while away from your desk, REMOREMO is designed to make remote access feel practical on a normal smartphone. ## DESKTOP OVERVIEW Keep the entire remote desktop visible at a glance. You do not need to constantly pan and pinch around a huge desktop just to understand what is happening. ## INSTANT ZOOM Need to inspect one part of the screen? The 3Γ—3 Instant Zoom controller lets you jump immediately to the top, bottom, left, right, corners, or return to the full desktop overview. No repeated pinch-to-zoom gestures. Just tap where you want to look. ## LARGE RELATIVE TRACKPAD A remote mouse deserves more than a tiny gesture area. REMOREMO provides a large laptop-style relative trackpad designed specifically for touch. Move the pointer, click, drag, right-click and scroll without covering the remote screen with your fingers. ## KEYBOARD WHEN YOU NEED IT Use the iOS software keyboard for text entry, with quick access to useful remote-control keys such as: Ctrl Alt Shift Esc Tab No external keyboard is required for basic remote operation. ## BUILT FOR REMOTE OPERATIONS REMOREMO is not trying to turn your iPhone into a desktop workstation. It is designed for the moments when you want to quickly answer questions like: β€œWhat's happening on my remote computer?” β€œDid that task finish?” β€œIs there an error on the screen?” β€œCan I quickly click that button?” β€œCan I make one small change without opening my laptop?” That philosophy is what I call RemOps β€” Remote Operations. ## BRING YOUR OWN NETWORK REMOREMO keeps the networking layer intentionally simple. It connects to an RDP host that is already reachable from your device. You can use your existing local network, VPN, overlay network, or other trusted network configuration. There is no requirement to use a REMOREMO account or proprietary remote-access network. Enter your Host or IP address and connect. ## MADE FOR TECHNICAL USERS β€” WITHOUT MAKING THE UI DIFFICULT The networking can be as advanced as you want. The controls should not be. Remote access without fighting your phone.
