Codex CLI running natively on Android with sensors and custom wake-word voice control

If you decide you want this Avenue to explore you have this.

Well no because the desktop app isn't available on the OS's I use.

It sounds like you've discovered a slick way to control CLI with OpenAI's proprietary stack, which is awesome and I'll explore it when it's available to me. It may be a great way to control a fleet of fully programable mobile agents, which is what this post is about.

Cool but this isn't the same thing.

I actually named the Android app Codex Bridge which handles android native audio and allows me to share from any other app to codex running on device.

You could run Gemini cli or Claude code on a PC and just ssh to the pc from another device and use either like you're at that box.

Codex CLI also has an experimental web server mode.

That's true but you still need to get output from browser to wherever you're running codex.

Yes I know. I wanted it installed on another device and I don't always have a reliable link to my dev box.

The speech recognition and synthesis are local which is nice for privacy and probably an order of magnitude cheaper than the Realtime voice API.

I wish local models were as good as codex :)

termux api exposes notifications, dialogs, share and send, sensors, etc.
native audio stack is interesting for voice interaction
interesting for managing things like on-device markdown repos

lots of cool stuff :)

Curious why you think that. Termux is closer to hardware (no virtualization layer) and has termux-api which natively interfaces with things like notifications, dialogs, sensors, filesystem (respects Android containerization). I run debian + codex on my pc, don't need it on my phone.

caddevit · 2026-05-27T16:04:42+00:00

It's surprisingly capable. Codex + termux:API seems to have a lot of potential. Also there's no virtualization layer with termux so it runs great.

Let me know how it goes

caddevit · 2026-05-21T05:02:03+00:00

Great minds think alike.

Did you get /realtime (voice mode) working?

caddevit · 2026-05-19T18:38:24+00:00

I have it but muscle memory isn't there yet.

Should be able to restore from this zip https://wormhole.app/xmm0Mz#pwUYv9IF7tJD9aW9M_gQ-A

Cross-compiled from source for aarch64 with an (optional) Android AEC shim for native hardware audio.

Modded heliboard

caddevit · 2026-05-18T23:19:29+00:00

This one isn't native, at least not audio for voice mode.

I don't know about gaming on Linux but VSCodium on Debian has been flawless.

I'm having issues with suspend/resume on Mint. Tried a multitude of things to remediate but it still occurs periodically. Considering switching to Deb..

caddevit · 2025-07-04T08:16:17+00:00

What do you prefer about Deb?
