What the apps process
codicile connects an Apple Watch to a Mac running your Codex setup. During a voice session, microphone audio travels from the Watch through the configured Tailscale route to your Mac. The Mac sends audio and the conversation or task context needed for your request to OpenAI through the ChatGPT account used by Codex. Assistant audio and task updates return to the Watch. codicile does not operate a cloud conversation server. Conversations and account data are managed through Codex and OpenAI, under their applicable settings and policies.
The iPhone camera scans a pairing code; codicile does not save or upload a camera photo. The Watch uses its microphone only after you grant permission and start or resume a voice session. Available Codex tools may access files, apps, or services according to your Codex setup and the approvals you give.
What stays on your devices
The Mac and Watch store pairing credentials in their Keychains. During pairing, the iPhone passes the connection address and credential to the Watch through Apple's WatchConnectivity and clears its persisted transfer context after the Watch confirms saving. If transfer does not complete, that payload may remain in local WatchConnectivity state. The apps also keep local preferences, connection state, a selected Codex conversation identifier, and operational logs. A temporary pairing code expires for use after about three minutes, although a local Mac log entry may retain that code until the log rotates or is removed.
Operational logs are kept locally and rotated at size limits. They can contain connection or error details; review them before sharing. A diagnostic report is created only when you choose Export Diagnostics on the Mac. That report contains selected app, system, and connection status; it excludes raw logs, conversation text, microphone audio, pairing credentials, and network addresses. It remains where you save it until you delete or share it.
Sharing, retention, and your choices
OpenAI processes voice and task context for the requested Codex interaction. The Mac companion includes Tailscale for remote connectivity. Tailscale associates its Mac node with your account and collects device name, operating system, host name, IP address, public key, connection logs, and usage statistics under its own policy. Apple provides Keychain, WatchConnectivity, camera, and audio services. codicile does not sell data, show advertising, or use cross-app tracking. It does not receive or retain a separate cloud copy of your conversations.
You can stop voice on the Watch and revoke voice-data consent in the Watch and Mac apps. Revoke access on the Mac rotates its pairing key, preventing previously paired devices from reconnecting until they pair again. This action does not erase an old credential from the Watch or iPhone, remove local logs, delete Codex conversations, or close your OpenAI or Tailscale account. Local app data remains until replaced or removed; codicile has no separate cloud retention period. To manage or delete conversations, use your Codex/OpenAI account controls. Delete any diagnostic export you saved when you no longer need it. Contact us for help locating and removing codicile's device-local data.
Requirements and changes
Use requires an awake, online Mac with a compatible Codex installation and signed-in account, an iPhone for setup, an Apple Watch with microphone access, and a Tailscale connection. Available actions depend on your Codex setup and permissions. A first-time desktop handoff may ask you to finish active work and restart Codex; save or complete active work before doing so.
codicile is not directed to children. If the app or its data practices change, this page will show a new effective date.
