alt Hacker NewsIs there a native way to work remotely with Claude/Codex on a local folder or git repo on your main machine without having to connect it to GitHub? For creating apps for personal use I’d rather just keep the files local.
Edit: Running into issues setting it up on Windows. There's no "/remote-control" command in the CLI, so I installed the Windows Codex app. Then I updated the iOS app which now has the "Codex" feature in the sidebar, which should allow remote access to the Windows machine's instance - except it doesn't connect. The iOS app shows my desktop's hostname, so it knows there's an instance there, but refuses to connect. Issues like this would persuade a lot of folks to switch back to Claude.

You can run Codex and Claude on mobile from https://github.com/happier-dev/happier
I think the `/remote-control` feature does this, if I understand you correctly.
I wish codex supported this, I use it all the time for claude.
I tried apps that do this workflow (happy coder being one), but the workflow itself is rather clunky. You have to first start the session inside the remote machine. I now only do ssh, I can start or resume on whatever device suits at the time. The only downside is latency and connection drops, mosh solves it.

This is what /remote-control does in Claude Code, once it's running on your main machine. You can open it up in the phone app.
