Codex iOS Assistant
An iPhone control tool lets Codex on a Mac read screen text, manage the clipboard and control alarms through iMessage and Apple Shortcuts.
Codex iOS Assistant connects Codex on your Mac to your iPhone so the assistant can perform phone actions and retrieve phone context. It's for people who want to bring information from their phone into their work with Codex.
- Screen access: Read visible text on the iPhone or save a screenshot for inspection.
- Clipboard access: Read the phone's clipboard or replace its contents from the Mac.
- Alarm controls: List enabled alarms, create an alarm or disable alarms at a specified time.
The command sender runs on your Mac, and Apple Shortcuts carries out actions on the iPhone and returns context to the Mac. Commands travel through iMessage, so this isn't a fully offline tool. It requires a Cloudflare-managed domain and iCloud sync for Shortcuts.
The project is open source under the MIT License. It requires macOS 14 or newer, Python 3.11 or newer, Messages and Xcode Command Line Tools, plus an iPhone that can receive the command messages. The optional Remote workflow also requires the ChatGPT desktop and mobile apps.
