Codex App on macOS: support Continuity Camera “Import from iPhone” in the composer

What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex App for macOS (installed bundle display name: ChatGPT; bundle ID: com.openai.codex)

• App version: 26.707.41301 (build 5103)
• Platform: Darwin 25.2.0 arm64 arm / macOS 26.2 (25C56)

What feature would you like to see?

Please add native macOS Continuity Camera support to the task composer/attachment flow:

• Import from iPhone or iPad
• Take Photo
• Scan Documents
• Add Sketch
• Expose the action in the composer’s contextual menu and/or the attachment menu.
• Ideally make the action keyboard-addressable so a user can capture from iPhone without leaving the current Codex task.

Current behavior

In Apple apps such as TextEdit, Control-clicking in an editable area shows Import from iPhone, with each nearby iPhone offering Take Photo, Scan Documents, and Add Sketch. The same action is not available in the Codex App composer.

This is not an iPhone/macOS pairing problem: the Continuity Camera menu is present and working in TextEdit on the same Mac with the same nearby iPhones.

Why this belongs in the app

Apple documents that NSTextView receives Continuity Camera support automatically. Apps using a custom editor can support it by accepting the Continuity Camera image/PDF data from the pasteboard through the active responder. The Codex composer appears to use a Chromium-backed custom editor, so this likely needs an explicit app integration rather than a user setting.

Impact

Codex tasks commonly start from physical notes, receipts, diagrams, device screens, and paper documents. Today the user must capture on iPhone, transfer or copy the result, return to Codex, and attach/paste it. Native Continuity Camera would reduce that to one in-context action and match standard macOS behavior.

Acceptance criteria

1. From an empty or active composer, the user can choose Take Photo, Scan Documents, or Add Sketch from a nearby iPhone/iPad.
2. The returned photo/PDF/sketch appears as an attachment in the current task.
3. Multiple nearby devices are selectable.
4. Cancellation leaves the composer unchanged.
5. The actions are available from a menu command that users can bind to a macOS keyboard shortcut.
