Codex phone UI shown off: home-screen widgets track agent tasks and weekly usage limits

Dimillian · x · 2026-10-31

Developer Dimillian shared a screenshot of Codex on a phone, showing home-screen widgets: one tracks a running agent task ("Add Drag-and-Drop Shop Cards", working for 1m 35s) plus task lists across devices like iOS Manager and Release Manager; another widget displays weekly usage limits ("43% left, resets in 4 days"). It suggests OpenAI is embedding Codex deep into the phone home screen to monitor background agents, fueling speculation about a dedicated Codex device.
