01 · how it works
One tiny hook. About a minute to set up.
codex-notifier is a small program Codex runs through its hooks. When Codex finishes, wants approval or asks you something, it sends a push to your phone and gets out of the way. Nothing runs in the background. At your keyboard? Codex asks in the terminal like always. Away? It waits for your phone, and stops waiting the second you're back.

02 · on your phone
Leave your desk. Keep Codex moving.
In a meeting, on a walk or making lunch, your phone buzzes when Codex needs you. One tap shows what it wants to do. Another lets it get on with it.
patch
Know what's being edited
When Codex wants to apply a patch, you see which files it touches before you say yes. On iPhone, a lock screen card follows the edits and the plan as Codex works.
ask
Answer questions, send the next step
Codex asks which database or which branch? Pick an answer from your phone. When it's done, send the next instruction right away.

04 · faq
Questions, answered
Which terminals does it work with?
All of them. codex-notifier runs inside Codex's own hooks, so it works wherever you run codex: Terminal, iTerm2, Ghostty, Windows Terminal, VS Code, tmux. At the keyboard? The terminal asks as usual.
Do I need a Mac?
Nope. It works with the Codex CLI on macOS, Linux and Windows (Windows is in beta). Get the app, pick your computer and run the line it shows. Every install option is on the command line page.
How much is it?
codex-notifier is free. The phone apps are free to download and unlock with $6.99 a month, $39.99 a year (7 days free first) or $49.99 once.
Will it slow Codex down?
No. codex-notifier runs for a few milliseconds each time Codex calls it, then exits. Codex only waits when you're away and it needs you, and only up to a limit you set. Touch the keyboard and it stops waiting straight away.
Does it work with Codex in the ChatGPT app or on the web?
Notifier for Codex is made for the Codex CLI, the one you start with codex. Codex cloud tasks run on OpenAI's servers, so they never reach the hooks on your computer. Other local Codex apps may pick the hooks up, but we don't support them yet.
Is this made by OpenAI?
No. Notifier for Codex is an independent app made by TouchTap. It isn't affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by OpenAI. "OpenAI", "Codex" and "ChatGPT" are trademarks of OpenAI.
Where does my data go?
There are no accounts. codex-notifier keeps its session state on your computer. Notifications and your replies pass through our encrypted relay server to get between your computer and your phone, and are deleted within 48 hours. Nothing is sold or used for ads. The Privacy Policy has the details.
Stop babysitting your terminal.
Get the app, run one line on your Mac, Windows or Linux computer, and let Codex find you when it needs you.
