How I Run Codex Agents From My Phone
from Life & Living With Isaac Cullinane Hosted by Isaac Cullinane
I cancelled my Claude Max subscription after six months and switched to Codex Max. In this episode, I explain what changed: long-running agents, remote control from my phone, multiple parallel sessions and a simpler daily workflow for coding and general admin. I show how I use agents to turn specs into plans, execute tasks that can run for hours, and review project goals, pull requests and tasks before starting work. Instead of staying at my laptop, I can step away and return only when Codex needs an approval, decision or final test. I also compare the limitations I encountered with Claude, demonstrate Codex Remote with voice and computer control, check how the Max plan handles 10–20 active threads, and explain why GPT-5.6 has become comparable to Opus 4.8 for the work I do. 00:00 Switching to Codex 00:48 Agents and Long Tasks 01:36 Claude Limits Frustrations 02:36 Daily Remote Workflow 04:30 Codex Remote Wow 05:18 Max Plan Usage Check 05:46 Why Codex Feels Easier 06:50 Replacing Claude Setup 08:05 Codex Sessions and Tips 09:05 Time Saved and Quality
