Recently, OpenAI rolled out an update for its Codex desktop application on macOS, introducing a new 'computer control' functionality. Following this update, this intelligent coding assistant is now capable of remotely managing user-authorized applications, even when the Mac is locked. In practical terms, this means that users can assign tasks to Codex through their smartphones, and Codex will carry out the corresponding operations on the Mac, regardless of whether the screen is off or the computer is in a locked state.
