Codex Remote

What it does

Codex Remote is an open-source Mac menu bar app for putting Codex and Claude Code on a cloud machine you control. Choose a provider and size; it provisions the server with OpenTofu, installs the agents, and connects the machine to the apps you already use. See CPU, memory, and active sessions, pause idle servers, sync a project, or let an agent manage machines with opt-in MCP access. Your cloud credentials stay on your Mac. No hosted middleman. Independent of OpenAI and Anthropic.

A macOS menu bar app that provisions a cloud machine and wires it up as a remote Codex or Claude Code agent. Open source, not affiliated with OpenAI.

As simple as it gets to put Claude or Codex on a remote machine. Give it a token for a cloud you already pay for. It builds the server, installs Codex and Claude Code, carries your MCP servers over, and hands the machine to the tools you already work in. None of this is hard. All of it is fiddly, none of it is interesting, and you do every bit of it again for the next machine. An Include won’t do: Codex parses that file with a library that never expands them, so a host behind one is invisible and nothing says why. Inline, above your Host * so first-match cannot override it, inside markers it can cleanly remove again. Node, the CLI, an OAuth round trip, then a first-run prompt that…from codexremote.io

  Hey HN! I'm Connor, creator of Replicas. I'm a heavy Codex/Claude Code user, and I wanted to hand off tasks to agents like I would to an engineer - kick something off before work, let it scaffold while I'm at lunch, even come back to a ready PR. The problem: existing alternatives use workspace VMs that are black boxes. I have no access to any of them - they can't run tests, read logs, or use tools like the Playwright MCP (which I use to verify agents actually fixed what they claim to fix). Replicas gives agents real cloud workspaces where they can: - Run your test suite and read the…

  Skill that lets Claude Code/Codex spin up VMs and GPUsFeb 2026 · cloudrouter.dev · ▲138

  I've been working on CloudRouter, a skill + CLI that gives coding agents like Claude Code and Codex the ability to start cloud VMs and GPUs. When an agent writes code, it usually needs to start a dev server, run tests, open a browser to verify its work. Today that all happens on your local machine. This works fine for a single task, but the agent is sharing your computer: your ports, RAM, screen. If you run multiple agents in parallel, it gets a bit chaotic. Docker helps with isolation, but it still uses your machine's resources, and doesn't give the agent a browser, a desktop, or a GPU to…

  Since coding agents like Claude Code and Codex came out, I've been pretty obsessed with them. It's hard not to when you're getting a 20x discount on inference. I've also been frustrated by them a lot. I hated walking around with my laptop lid open while connected to a hotspot on my phone, having to tediously accept commands so I don't lose my root directory, and running out of RAM when running multiple agents that were spinning up dev servers in different worktrees at once. A lot of people would say existing cloud agents are the solution to this, as none of the above problems apply to any…
