VibeAround

Codex CLI From Phone

Use VibeAround to keep local Codex CLI sessions reachable from a phone-friendly browser, Web Terminal, handover, or messaging channel.

Documentation notice: these docs are currently generated with Codex and are being actively reviewed, expanded, and refined.

VibeAround can help users continue Codex CLI work from a phone while the actual session stays on the local host. This is useful when the agent needs a decision, a test result needs review, or a long task should keep moving while you are away from the desk.

Use this page when the goal is to control or inspect a local Codex CLI workflow from another device. If you are comparing hosted Codex workflows, official mobile access, SSH, tunnels, and VibeAround's local-first model, read Codex Remote Comparison after this setup path.

VibeAround is independent software and is not affiliated with OpenAI. Codex and ChatGPT are OpenAI products.

What This Workflow Provides

  • A local host where Codex CLI can run beside the real repository.
  • Browser and mobile entry points for session continuation.
  • Web Terminal access when a shell view is needed.
  • Messaging-channel access for short prompts and status checks.
  • Optional provider profiles and API Bridge routes when a local workflow needs explicit model routing.

Setup Path

  1. Confirm Codex CLI works outside VibeAround.
  2. Add the repository as a VibeAround workspace.
  3. Launch or continue a Codex session from Agent Launch.
  4. Open the session from a mobile browser with Session Handover.
  5. Add Remote Messaging & Web Terminal only after the local session works.
  6. Use Live Preview to review local outputs from the same phone-friendly flow.

Good Mobile Tasks

Mobile is best for steering, approval, and review. It is usually not the best place for broad file inspection.

  • Ask the agent for status.
  • Approve or reject a proposed direction.
  • Request a focused test or build.
  • Review a preview link.
  • Pause, archive, or hand the session back to the desktop.

Security Notes

Treat the phone as a control surface for the local workspace. Protect browser pairing, messaging channel membership, and terminal access the same way you protect direct shell access.

Remote Coding With Local AI Agents

Continue local AI coding agent sessions from browser, phone, terminal, or messaging without moving the workspace into a cloud IDE.
