Remote connections let you access work running on another device or machine. In the ChatGPT mobile app, open Remote to work with ChatGPT or Codex chats on a connected Mac or Windows device. You can also continue work from another supported device running the ChatGPT desktop app or connect the app to projects on an SSH host.
Remote access uses the connected host’s projects, chats, files, credentials, permissions, plugins, Computer Use, browser setup, and local tools.
What you can do remotely
- Start new chats in projects on the host, or continue existing ones.
- Send follow-up instructions, answer questions, and steer active work.
- Approve commands and other actions.
- Review outputs, diffs, test results, terminal output, and screenshots.
- Get notified when ChatGPT completes a task or needs your attention.
- Switch between connected hosts and chats.
