Is 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…

That’s this announcement.

I ask because I tried the other week to use /remote-control in Claude, and it prompted to connect a Github repo with no local alternative. Things may have changed since then.

My experience today with the new Codex remote control has been that it doesn't connect at all.

So basically a 20$ Claude plan lmao

I stopped using my Claude subscription because it became so prohibitive. Back to ChatGPT and Codex full time and been pretty happy. I miss the tone/writing style of Claude, but don't miss the frustration of being told I've reached my plan limits in a comically short amount of time.

Using these prompts/steering[0], setting Base style to Friendly, Warm to More, Enthusiastic to Default, Headers, Lists, and Emoji to Less, I have found I can get gpt-5.5 about ... 80% of the way there to writing as non-annoyingly as Claude. And it's so much faster and has such higher limits that that's worth it for me.

I also put together this ridiculous thing[1] because I missed the font and color scheme of Claude.

I don't like this direction. For accessibility aspect, sure it is good. But Codex is a coding product. I am increasingly concerned of lack of reviewing practice. I doubt that a mobile app is good for reviewing code changes.

> Stay connected to active work from anywhere

... (and anytime because it's on your phone). No thanks.

Thanks, I’ll give those a try!

FYI I'm actively working on aimpostor, so check back in a couple days for some quality improvements. (I'm definitely not going to bother with a Sparkle updater or anything like that.)

This is neat! Now I'm curious, what's left to innovate in the coding agent space? Sure there are the usual suspects like maintenance, security, reliability and other scalability improvements and looks like they will be addressed in the next year or two.

Agent farms. Have agents make tons of random high fidelity variations around the clock of the same app or feature from some vague ideas, and you use each of them to see which one you like best and can productize, and you skip the need to do iterative prompts.

Are you specifically pointing at a different experience between free + paid? Or just that the free version is unimpressive? I'm using paid on TypeScript and it's genuinely terrific. Subjectively I think it has the edge over Opus. I'd be surprised if OpenAI is hamstringing the free version. That would seem crazy from a GTM PoV. If anything the labs seem to throttle the heavy paid users.

Yes, the free version doesn't have access to the same models that the paid does.

You have access to 5.5 xhigh on free. Which model is missing except the 5.3 that run on cerebras?

It's only missing the trash models. Likely a user skill issue.

I was really unimpressed by the free Codex (for nodejs/react dev). I think it must be using a less powerful model or they’re limiting it in some other way.

Post your chat session

Can Codex chats be shared? (This is a genuine question; so far, I've only used Codex in CLI on Linux.)
