In their words

What people said

Problem
Codex cli and mobile (Codex Remote) cannot share same session < when will this get fixed? This essentially make Codex Remote unusable and Claude Code on the other side works perfectly from the get go. One of the main reason I use Codex as slave code review agent only in the farm

Problem
Hey Tibo, the bug where I can't use my phone to remotely control Codex sessions connected to remote servers via SSH still hasn't been fixed, even though your app claims to support it. Yet today we got neither optimizations nor a reset.

I hate seeing this message. Multiple codex should be able to access the session...

Problem
Another issue: I’ve been running into problems accessing my Codex desktop sessions from my phone. I used to be able to monitor them online, but now I’m constantly hitting an error saying "another Codex session is currently using it."

Problem
Hey @thsottiaux, if your using Dot voice chat on your laptop and forget to close the session you can’t start a new one on the phone. Asking Dot to stop the voice session through text chat doesn’t work either. I’m locked out of voice until I get back to my laptop.
