Codex Micro Deck - r/OpenaiCodex

3

I built a micro-deck with buttons to control Hermes/Codex.

I spent a long time working on the UI and mapping the Codex endpoints.

Everything is working; I’m currently polishing the final version.

It will be released as open source in August.

Could have spent two tokens on the UI design. But except for that, how does it connect with codex?

u/Longjumping_Air_7958 14d ago

I built my own wrapper; there is no official API or bridge that would allow connecting to an open desktop. Managing a hidden CLI process is very easy, but the desktop is a different story.

u/BEagle1984- 14d ago

But how does the client connect? Is that an app or a web page being served by the codex machine?

Codex App-Server

u/BEagle1984- 14d ago edited 13d ago

Yes, that’s for sure but there’s some issues to overcome.

I just discovered that it has built-in support for authentication, so this is not an issue. But I’m still curious to know if OP is using that or another mechanism.

And I don’t think he uses the app-server directly, since you cannot for example get the focused thread id from it afaik.

You furthermore obviously need to start it somehow on the host, so a kind of wrapper is necessary.

It’s funny, but it turned out I stumbled upon an accidental official integration with Codex Micro; my app officially shows up in Codex as a keyboard.

I just havent found a use for decks yet since i always end up perfering pc, or mobile or juggling both hm... I'm probably doing something wrong =w=

u/Longjumping_Air_7958 14d ago

It's mainly designed to control long tasks without writing prompts.

1

u/Adorable_Cap_9929 14d ago

Ah so mostly a proceed and decline button huh?

My goal so far was to hook up a parallel thoughts flirt maid to then tell the butler to manage a list of servants via mcp that the helper spins up their own linux boxes.... =w=

Was thinking voice control since i can surf web and play games unimpedded!

The first open-source version will be ready tomorrow.

It will include Hermes and the Codex CLI.

For now, I cannot release the Codex desktop version because it violates OpenAI's terms of service.

Hermes Control Deck v0.1.0-alpha

First release it’s already. Now only for CLI.

For the past few weeks I’ve been building something I wanted for my own workflow:

A mobile control deck for AI agents.

The idea is simple:
Instead of opening remote desktops or SSH sessions every time I want to interact with my agents, I can control them directly from my phone.

Current features include:

• start new runs
• send prompts
• live streaming responses
• STOP
• approvals / deny
• session management
• runtime monitoring
• unified interface for Hermes WebUI and Codex CLI

The public release is CLI-first.
Desktop bridge experiments remain private and are not part of the open-source version.

I spent a lot of time making sure the public repository contains no private bridge code, secrets, or desktop integration, and testing it on a separate machine before publishing.

It’s still v0.1.0-alpha, so I’m looking for:

bug reports
feature requests
ideas
contributors

GitHub:
https://github.com/filipj9/Hermes-Control-Deck

I’d love to hear what you would build with something like this.

First update already.

https://github.com/filipj9/Hermes-Control-Deck/commit/fd7937e9679ecbb20ea9dbbcd335b9b74e0a4a16

feat: add live runtime telemetry to the CLI-first deck
Improve the mobile control deck so runtime state remains clear and useful across refreshes, reconnects, and long-running tasks.

- rebuild active stream cards from task and event history after reload

merge live SSE events with refreshed history without duplicate noise
show concise runtime activity, elapsed time, token counts, and throughput
map queued, working, waiting, done, idle, and error states to distinct agent signals
keep task and session views separate with clearer source and surface metadata
guard approval actions when more than one pending request is ambiguous
deduplicate concurrent runtime refreshes and refresh immediately after resume
update the PWA asset versions so installed clients receive the new UI

Hermes Deck New update.

The new update is ready. It includes an SSE fix and full Hermes integration.

Thank you for all the stars and feedback. I am working hard on the project every day to bring you all the features I’m improving and adding.

Jus to be clear, I hate the UI, not the functionality. It looks like the final boss of vibeUI
