Request

Please add first-class Voice support to Codex Mobile Remote, so a paired iPhone can join the same live Codex conversation running on a Mac host through natural, real-time speech.

Why this matters

Remote already brings the useful local context to the phone: active threads, repositories, skills/plugins, task state, tool permissions, and approvals. The remaining gap is that it is text-first. For time away from a desk—especially walking between meetings or hands-free use while driving—voice is the natural way to steer an ongoing task without losing that context.

A generic ChatGPT Voice conversation is not an equivalent workaround because it does not share the live local Codex environment.

Desired experience

  • Start or continue a voice conversation from a paired device in Mobile Remote.
  • Send each spoken turn to the same live Codex task on the Mac, retaining its context, tools, and permission model.
  • Hear streaming responses and interrupt naturally.
  • Receive spoken status updates for active workers and pending approvals.
  • Keep consequential actions behind the existing confirmation surface.

Success criterion

A user can leave the desk, open Remote on an iPhone, and have the same context-aware Codex conversation they would have had on the Mac—without rebuilding context or using a separate control plane.

Scope note

This is a feature request, not a report of a mobile Voice connection failure. It complements the existing Remote Voice connection report by describing the product behavior needed once the capability is broadly available.
