Terms and Conditions

01Description of Service

Notifier for Codex is a notification system designed to work with Codex (OpenAI's command-line coding agent). The service consists of:

• Notifier for Codex (iOS/Android): Mobile apps that receive notifications from your computers and let you answer Codex's requests remotely.
• codex-notifier (macOS, Linux and Windows): A command line tool that Codex runs through its hooks. It sends notifications when Codex finishes or needs your attention, and can make Codex wait for your answer from the phone. It is installed with a script from this website, with Homebrew, or with npm.
• Cloud Relay Service: A server-side component that passes notifications and answers between your computers and mobile devices, and keeps each computer's settings.

03Purchases

3.1 codex-notifier

codex-notifier is free to download and use.

3.2 Companion App Access

The Companion Apps are free to download, but receiving mobile notifications and sending responses from your mobile device requires an active subscription (including a free trial) or a lifetime purchase made in the app through Apple or Google. codex-notifier remains free to use without any purchase.

3.3 Companion App In-App Purchases

To unlock the Companion Apps, you may purchase one of the following:

• Yearly Subscription: An auto-renewable yearly subscription that provides full access to the Companion Apps while active. Eligible new subscribers may start with a free trial
• Monthly Subscription: An auto-renewable monthly subscription that provides full access to the Companion Apps while active
• Lifetime Purchase: A one-time, non-consumable purchase that provides full access to the Companion Apps permanently

We may sometimes offer a reduced price for the first year of the yearly subscription. The offer price, how long it lasts, and the price it renews at are shown before you confirm the purchase.

These purchases are processed through:

• iOS: Apple's App Store and are subject to Apple's Terms of Service
• Android: Google Play and are subject to Google Play's Terms of Service

3.4 Subscription Terms

If you purchase a subscription:

• Billing: Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly) unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period
• Free Trial: If your subscription includes a free trial, you will not be charged during the trial. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription will convert to a paid subscription and you will be charged at the end of the trial
• Payment: Payment will be charged to your App Store or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase
• Renewal: Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the subscription price

• Cancellation: If you cancel, your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing period, after which you will no longer be able to receive mobile notifications or send responses from the Companion Apps
• Price Changes: Subscription prices may change. We will notify you of any price changes, and you will have the opportunity to cancel before the new price takes effect

3.5 Lifetime Purchase Terms

If you purchase the lifetime unlock:

• Permanent Access: The purchase grants access to the Companion Apps for as long as we provide them and the relay service
• No Recurring Charges: This is a one-time purchase with no subscription or recurring fees
• Device Transfer: Your purchase is tied to your Apple ID or Google account and can be restored on any device signed into that account

3.6 Refunds for In-App Purchases

All in-app purchase refunds are handled by Apple or Google respectively. We do not process refunds directly for in-app purchases. To request a refund:

• iOS: Contact Apple Support or use the Report a Problem feature in your purchase history
• Android: Contact Google Play Support or request a refund through your Google Play order history

3.7 Separate From Claude Code Notifier

Notifier for Codex and Claude Code Notifier, our app for Claude Code, are separate products. A purchase in one does not unlock the other, and a phone pairs only with its own product's command line tool.

04Account and Device Pairing

4.1 Device Pairing

There are no user accounts. To use mobile notifications, you pair your mobile device with each computer. Pairing requires:

• codex-notifier installed on your computer
• The Companion App installed on your mobile device
• An internet connection on both devices
• A pairing code. The Companion App shows a 6-digit code and the command to run, and you enter it on the computer; codex-notifier can also show a QR code that you scan on the phone. A code the phone shows, and a QR code codex-notifier shows, can be used for 24 hours

Up to three mobile devices can be paired with each computer. When you pair, codex-notifier adds its hooks to Codex's hooks file (~/.codex/hooks.json), records them as trusted in Codex's configuration file (~/.codex/config.toml), and keeps a one-time backup of each file.

4.2 Pairing Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device pairings. You should:

• Only pair devices you personally own or control
• Revoke pairings for devices you no longer use or have lost
• Not share pairing codes with others

4.3 Revoking Pairings

You may revoke device pairings at any time from the Companion Apps, or with codex-notifier devices or codex-notifier uninstall. Revoking a pairing will:

• Stop notifications from being sent to that device
• Mark the pairing as revoked in our cloud service, which deletes it 60 days later
• Leave any pending notifications to be deleted on the usual schedule, within 48 hours

05Cloud Relay Service

5.1 Service Description

Our cloud relay service connects your computers and paired mobile devices. The service:

• Receives notification data from codex-notifier
• Delivers push notifications to your mobile devices
• Relays your responses back to your computer
• Stores each computer's settings, so you can change them from your mobile device
• Stores notifications temporarily, deleting them within 48 hours

5.2 Answering from Your Phone

When you are away from the keyboard, codex-notifier can make Codex wait for your answer from the phone, for up to the time set for that computer (10 minutes unless you change it). An approval, rejection, answer or instruction you send from your mobile device is passed to Codex as if you had given it at the computer. You are responsible for the answers you send, and for what Codex does after you approve a request. If no answer arrives in time, or the connection fails, Codex continues as it normally would and asks in the terminal.

5.3 Service Availability

We strive to maintain high availability of the cloud relay service, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to:

• Scheduled maintenance
• Unplanned outages
• Network issues beyond our control
• Actions by third-party service providers

5.4 Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the cloud relay service at any time with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of significant changes.

06Data and Privacy

Your use of the Apps is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your data. By using the Apps, you consent to our data practices as described in the Privacy Policy.

6.2 Data Retention

codex-notifier deletes its session files when a session ends, or after 7 days without use. Notifications in our cloud service are automatically deleted within 48 hours. If a phone or computer is not used for 60 days, our cloud service deletes its records, settings and pairings, and you will need to pair it again to keep using it. Purchase records are kept for 6 years from their date, then deleted.
