access work on a connected computer, or connect the ChatGPT desktop app to projects over SSH Copy Page Remote connections let you access work running on another device or machine. In the ChatGPT mobile app, open **Remote** to work with ChatGPT or Codex chats on a connected Mac or Windows device. You can also continue work from another supported device running the ChatGPT desktop app or connect the app to projects on an SSH host. Remote access uses the connected host’s projects, chats, files, credentials, permissions, plugins, Computer Use, browser setup, and local tools. ## What you can do remotely * Start new chats in projects on the host, or continue existing ones. * Send follow-up instructions, answer questions, and steer active work. * Approve commands and other actions. * Review outputs, diffs, test results, terminal output, and screenshots. * Get notified when ChatGPT completes a task or needs your attention. * Switch between connected hosts and chats. The next sections cover opening **Remote** in the ChatGPT mobile app to access a desktop host. To connect Codex to a project on an SSH host, see [connect to an SSH host](https://developers.openai.com/codex/remote-connections#connect-to-an-ssh-host). ![Image 2: Remote setup screen in the ChatGPT mobile app](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/app/mobile-setup-light.webp)![Image 3: Remote setup screen in the ChatGPT mobile app](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/app/mobile-setup-dark.webp) ![Image 4: Remote setup screen in the ChatGPT mobile app](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/app/mobile-setup-light.webp)![Image 5: Remote setup screen in the ChatGPT mobile app](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/app/mobile-setup-dark.webp) [](https://developers.openai.com/codex/remote-connections) ## Before you set up Remote Remote supports hosts running the ChatGPT desktop app on macOS and Windows. You can control a host from ChatGPT on iOS or Android, or from another Mac or Windows device when **Control other devices** is available. Availability can vary by rollout. Make sure you have: * Codex access in the ChatGPT account and workspace you want to use. * The latest ChatGPT mobile app on an iOS or Android device. If **Remote** doesn’t appear in the app, update ChatGPT first. * The latest ChatGPT desktop app for macOS or Windows running on a host that’s awake, online, and signed in to the same account and workspace. Mobile setup starts from the app; you can’t set it up from the Codex CLI or IDE extension. * Any required multi-factor authentication, SSO, or passkey configuration for that account or workspace. If you use Codex through a ChatGPT workspace, your admin may need to enable Remote Control access before you can connect from your phone. [](https://developers.openai.com/codex/remote-connections) ## Set up Remote Start in the ChatGPT desktop app on the host you want to connect. The setup flow enables remote access for that host, then shows a QR code you can scan from your phone. The QR code pairs that phone with that host. Pair every phone or supported desktop app device with every host you want it to control. Existing connections used since June 8, 2026, remain paired. If you haven’t used an existing connection since June 8, 2026, update both apps and pair the devices again. 1. Start Remote setup. Open the ChatGPT desktop app on the host. Go to **Settings**>**Connections**>**Control this Mac or PC**, then select **Set up** or **Add**. Approve remote access and complete any requested verification. 2. Scan the QR code. Use your phone to scan the QR code shown by the app. The code opens ChatGPT so you can finish connecting the mobile app to the host. 3. Finish setup in ChatGPT. ChatGPT opens the Remote setup flow. Confirm the same ChatGPT account and workspace, then complete any required multi-factor authentication, SSO, or passkey steps. After setup succeeds, the host appears in Remote on your phone. 4. Review host settings. In the app on the host, use **Settings**>**Connections** to manage connected devices. You can also choose whether to keep the computer awake, enable Computer Use, or install the Chrome extension. ### Connections Control this Mac Control other devices SSH #### Devices that can control this Mac ![Image 6](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/remote-regenerate.svg) Allow connections Loading device list #### Other settings ![Image 7](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/app-sun.svg) Keep this Mac awake Prevent sleep when computer is plugged in and remote access is enabled ## Choose what to connect Start with the laptop or desktop where you already use ChatGPT. Add an always-on computer or SSH host when you need continuous access or a different environment. ### Your laptop or desktop Connect the Mac or Windows PC where the desktop app is already installed. This gives remote access to the same projects, chats, credentials, plugins, and local setup you already use. If that computer sleeps, loses network access, or closes the app, remote access stops until it’s available again. If you use this computer as your host device, keep it plugged in and use the host’s connection settings to keep it awake where available. On a Mac laptop, remote access can stay available with the lid open and power connected. With the lid closed, connect an external display as well. Choosing **Sleep** still stops remote access. On a Windows host, keep the session unlocked and available for tasks that use [Computer Use](https://developers.openai.com/codex/computer-use). Computer Use on Windows runs in the foreground, so remote control is best for starting or checking work while you dedicate the host desktop to the task. ### A dedicated always-on computer Use a dedicated always-on Mac or Windows PC when you want ChatGPT to stay reachable for longer-running work. Install the projects, credentials, MCP servers, skills, and tools ChatGPT or Codex should use on that machine. ### A remote development environment Use an SSH host or managed remote development environment when the project already lives in a remote environment. Connect the desktop app host to that environment first; your phone still connects to the same host, and ChatGPT works in the remote environment with its dependencies, security policies, and compute resources. For SSH setup details, see [connect to an SSH host](https://developers.openai.com/codex/remote-connections#connect-to-an-ssh-host). For browser or desktop tasks on an always-on computer or remote host, enable Computer Use and install the Chrome extension on that host. ## What comes from the connected host Your phone sends prompts, approvals, and follow-up messages to ChatGPT. The connected host provides the environment ChatGPT uses. That means: * Repository files and local documents come from the connected host. * Shell commands run on that host or remote environment. * MCP servers, skills, browser access, and Computer Use come from that host’s configuration. * Signed-in websites and desktop apps are available only when the host can access them. * The sandboxing settings, security controls, and action approvals still apply to the connected session. A secure relay layer keeps trusted machines reachable across your authorized ChatGPT devices without exposing them directly to the public internet. ## Pick up work from another device You can continue work from another signed-in device running the ChatGPT desktop app and supporting remote control. For example, if your laptop is unavailable, you can start a chat from your phone on an always-on host, then later open the app on your laptop and continue that same chat there. On a Mac or Windows device where the feature is available, use **Settings > Connections > Control other devices** to add the other host. A device can allow remote access and control another device at the same time. ### Connections Control this Mac Control other devices SSH #### Devices you can control from this Mac ![Image 8](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/remote-control-other-devices.svg) Access and control other devices from this computer Set up ## Connect to an SSH host In the ChatGPT desktop app, add remote projects from an SSH host and run chats against the remote filesystem and shell. Remote project chats run commands, read files, and write changes on the remote host. Keep the remote host configured with the same security expectations you use for normal SSH access: trusted keys, least-privilege accounts, and no unauthenticated public listeners. 1. Add the host to your SSH config so Codex can auto-discover it. ``` Host devbox HostName devbox.example.com User you IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 ``` Codex reads concrete host aliases from `~/.ssh/config`, resolves them with OpenSSH, and ignores pattern-only hosts. 2. Confirm you can SSH to the host from the machine running the app. `ssh devbox` 3. Install and authenticate Codex on the remote host. The app starts the remote Codex app server through SSH, using the remote user’s login shell. Make sure the `codex` command is available on the remote host’s `PATH` in that shell. 4. In the app, open **Settings > Connections**, add or enable the SSH host, then choose a remote project folder. ### Connections Control this Mac Control other devices SSH #### SSH connections from this Mac Add ![Image 9](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/app-terminal.svg) devbox SSH ![Image 10](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/codex-more-menu.svg) ![Image 11](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/app-terminal.svg) build-server SSH ![Image 12](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/codex-more-menu.svg) ![Image 13](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/app-terminal.svg) remote-workstation SSH·Restart to update your CLI version![Image 14](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/remote-info.svg) ![Image 15](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/codex-more-menu.svg)![Image 16](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/icons/remote-devices.svg) [](https://developers.openai.com/codex/remote-connections)[](https://developers.openai.com/codex/remote-connections)[](https://developers.openai.com/codex/remote-connections) ## Hand off a chat between hosts Handoff moves an existing chat and its Git state between your local computer and a connected remote host. Use it to start work locally, continue in a worktree on a remote computer, and bring the chat back later. Before you hand off a chat, connect the destination host and save a project for the same Git repository on that host. If the project is a subdirectory of the repository, save the same subdirectory on both hosts. Codex only shows destinations with a matching saved project. To hand off a chat: 1. Open the chat in the desktop app. 2. In the chat footer, select the current run location, then select the destination host. Select **This computer** when handing a remote chat back to your local computer. 3. Review the destination and branch, then select **Hand off**. Codex creates or reuses a worktree on the destination host, transfers the chat and Git state, and switches the chat to that host. If the chat is running, handoff interrupts the current response before transferring it. You can also ask Codex in another chat to hand off a named chat to a connected host. Codex can’t hand off the chat making the request, and handoff to a Codex cloud environment isn’t supported. ## Authentication and network exposure Remote connections use SSH to start and manage the remote Codex app server. Don’t expose app-server transports directly on a shared or public network. If you need to reach a remote machine outside your current network, use a VPN or mesh networking tool instead of exposing the app server directly to the internet. ## Troubleshooting ### You don’t see the host on your phone Confirm that the desktop app is running on the host, you’ve enabled **Allow other devices to connect**, and both devices use the same ChatGPT account and workspace. If you haven’t used the connection since June 8, 2026, update both apps and pair the devices again. ### Remote Control is off after you sign back in Signing out of ChatGPT turns off **Remote Control**, but it doesn’t remove your existing device pairings. After you sign back in, turn on **Remote Control** to restore the previous connection state. If you see an error after you turn on **Remote Control** and select **Add**, restart the ChatGPT desktop app on the host, then try again. ### The approval request doesn’t appear In the ChatGPT mobile app, open **Remote**. Confirm that the phone and host use the same ChatGPT account and workspace, then scan the QR code again or restart setup from the host. If you use a ChatGPT workspace, ask your admin to confirm that they’ve enabled Remote Control access. ### The remote session disconnects Check whether the host went to sleep, lost network access, or closed the app. Keep the host awake and connected while ChatGPT works. ### Authentication blocks setup Complete the account or workspace authentication prompt shown during setup. If your organization requires SSO, multi-factor authentication, or a passkey, finish that flow before trying again. If setup still fails, ask your workspace admin to confirm that they’ve enabled Remote Control access. ## See also * [ChatGPT desktop app](https://developers.openai.com/codex/app) * [Features](https://developers.openai.com/codex/features) * [ChatGPT desktop app settings](https://developers.openai.com/codex/reference/settings) * [Computer Use](https://developers.openai.com/codex/computer-use) * [Chrome extension](https://developers.openai.com/codex/chrome-extension) * [Command line options](https://developers.openai.com/codex/developer-commands?surface=cli) * [Authentication](https://developers.openai.com/codex/auth) [Previous Windows app deployment](https://developers.openai.com/codex/enterprise/windows-deployment)[Next Amazon Bedrock](https://developers.openai.com/codex/amazon-bedrock) Ask AI ## Docs agent Loading docs agent...
