Made for your existing setup

Keep working in the terminal you already use.

CodeAfar brings your selected Codex CLI sessions in macOS Terminal into a mobile browser workspace. Keep several projects in view, start a fresh tab in a known project, and pick up the next decision without returning to your desk.

▣

Choose what to connect

Approve individual Codex tabs or all Codex tabs in the Mac app. Ordinary Terminal tabs stay outside the connection.

⌘

Parallel tabs, one chat

Guide tabs across projects, reopen a known project, or connect a newly created folder beside one.

↗

Decisions within reach

Read the current request, answer a question, or confirm a supported approval from the browser on your phone.

▧

Show what you mean

Send screenshots and files to the selected session. Open result images and download shared ZIP files from the same workspace.

◷

Keep your next thought

Write feedback while Codex works. Local browser drafts keep your text and supported attachments ready when you return.

◈

Continue on your terms

Set Handoff limits and check account usage. Optional account switching can resume eligible paused sessions with an available saved login.

Jira Cloud integration

Bring a Jira ticket into the work on your Mac.

Connect a Jira Cloud site to your account, review a ticket with its parent context, child issues, direct links and attachments, then hand the scoped task to a connected Codex tab. The review stays read-only until work actually starts. Mapped Jira updates require verified work and the configured sync workflow.

How it works

From an open tab to the next decision.

The Mac app shares only the tabs you choose. Your authenticated browser workspace carries the next instruction or decision back to the paired Mac.

01

Start Codex CLI in Terminal

Work as usual in the local project and leave the session running.

02

Choose connected tabs

Pair your Mac and select the tabs to share. Open the authenticated browser workspace using a one-time link from ChatGPT.

03

Keep work moving from your phone

Follow progress, send feedback and screenshots, and respond to supported decisions. Enable Handoff for a task when you want recognized request types handled within the limits you set.

Who it is for

Built for developers who keep real sessions open.

Use it when you have several Terminal projects in progress and want to check or guide them while away from your desk. The current beta targets macOS Terminal.app and Codex CLI. A ChatGPT account and a running Mac are required.

FAQ

Before you join.

How can I join the beta?

Leave your email in the form below. We will contact you when a beta place is available.

Does work happen on my Mac?

Yes. The connected Codex CLI session runs on your Mac. The gateway forwards authenticated requests and responses; it does not build your project.

Can I use several projects and Macs?

Yes. Select a paired Mac and guide its approved tabs across projects, start another tab in a known project, or open an existing folder beside it as a new connected project. The Mac checks that folder locally. Tabs in the same project share its files, so coordinate changes to the same files.

Can I change connections while away from my Mac?

Yes. Ask ChatGPT for a one-time link to the browser controls. There you can connect tabs and change the Handoff settings for your paired Mac. ChatGPT does not change those settings in the conversation.

Does it support Jira Cloud?

Yes. You can connect a Jira Cloud site, inspect a ticket and its scoped context, and hand the task to a local Codex tab. Jira updates follow the project's mapped statuses and verified work; parent tickets above the assigned ticket stay read-only.

What does Handoff approve?

After you agree to Handoff for a task, your Mac may approve recognized command and file requests that you enabled in its settings. You set a maximum duration and can cap observed five-hour Codex usage. Handoff stops when the task finishes or its limit is reached. Questions and unknown requests still need a decision.

Do I need a special phone app?

The remote workspace runs in your browser. Your Mac must stay running and connected, with the required local permissions. ChatGPT integration depends on the features available in your ChatGPT environment.

What passes through the gateway?

The gateway relays authenticated control requests and visible session text. Images and files use a direct encrypted WebRTC connection between your browser and Mac, rather than gateway file storage. Direct transfer depends on connectivity in your network. Project commands and builds run on your Mac.

Does this change Codex usage?

No. Tasks sent to Codex CLI remain subject to the Codex account and usage terms of that CLI session. ChatGPT conversation usage is governed separately by your ChatGPT plan.
