If I'm using Codex or Claude Code on my Mac—whether via the desktop apps or the CLIs—the ChatGPT and Claude mobile apps can manage my agent sessions.

These features have been around for a while, but they've improved a lot since early June.

The ChatGPT integration is especially good. Notably it can start new chats within any folder on your machine (Claude can't).

To get set up, just pair your device.[^1]
