  "textContent": "OpenAI should let users control Codex directly from the ChatGPT mobile app.\n\nProblem\n\nDevelopers often start Codex tasks from VS Code or web, then leave their desk. Today, mobile is mostly passive. Users cannot easily monitor, pause, approve, redirect, or resume Codex work while away.\n\nProposal\n\nAdd a “Codex Tasks” panel inside the ChatGPT iOS/Android app where users can:\n\n- View active Codex sessions\n\n- See current task status, logs, changed files, and diffs\n\n- Approve or reject risky actions\n\n- Send follow-up instructions by chat or voice\n\n- Pause, resume, or cancel tasks\n\n- Receive push notifications when Codex needs input\n\n- Review PR summaries before merge\n\n- Track credits used per task\n\nMVP\n\n1. Read-only task status\n\n2. Push notification: “Codex needs approval”\n\n3. Mobile approve/reject buttons\n\n4. Simple follow-up prompt box\n\n5. Diff summary, not full IDE editing\n\nWhy it matters\n\nThis turns Codex into a real asynchronous engineering assistant. Developers could start work on desktop, review progress from the phone, and unblock Codex without being physically at the laptop.\n\nSafety controls\n\n- No auto-merge from mobile by default\n\n- Require explicit approval for destructive commands\n\n- Show estimated credit impact before continuing large tasks\n\n- Enterprise admins can disable mobile approvals\n\n- Full audit log for every mobile action\n\nOne-line pitch\n\n“Let developers manage Codex like a remote engineering teammate — start on desktop, supervise from mobile, approve safely, and keep work moving.”",
