Codex Remote 0.1.0
First release.
A macOS menu bar app that provisions a cloud machine and wires it up as a remote Codex or Claude Code agent.
Install
brew install --cask pandelisz/tap/codex-remotemacOS 15 (Sequoia) or later, Apple silicon or Intel. It lives in the menu bar, not the Dock.
If you download the zip instead
This build is ad-hoc signed rather than notarised, so macOS refuses a downloaded copy with "CodexRemote is damaged and can't be opened". That is the quarantine flag rather than a corrupt download, and right-click → Open does not clear this particular error. Remove the flag:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CodexRemote.appThe Homebrew cask does this for you, which means trusting the tap and the checksum rather than Apple's notary. Proper notarisation is the real fix and is not done yet.
What it does
- Creates a server with OpenTofu on Hetzner, AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr or Scaleway — you bring the account and pay them directly
- Installs Codex and/or Claude Code, with your MCP servers carried over
- Writes the host into
~/.ssh/config, which is how the Codex app finds a machine and startscodex app-serveron it over SSH - Claude Code signs in on the machine and appears in your account
- Everything it installs is a systemd unit enabled at boot, so a stop/start brings it back
The provider catalogue is fetched from codexremote.io/registry.json, so a new cloud is a pull request rather than a release. Format: docs/registry.md.
