Check the Logs
When you want the detailed cause, inspect the logs on the Mac. It is easier to stay oriented if you assume that the logs live in the Mac app, not on the iPhone.
First place to look
Open the Logs tab in CodexPocketMac and inspect:
stdoutstderr
This is where Bridge startup failures and runtime errors appear.
Other useful places to inspect
Generalrecent error stateDetailsdetection state for Codex CLI, Git, and ShellOpen Log Folderuseful when you want to share logs outside the app
Situations where logs are especially useful
- Bridge will not start
- initial setup after pairing does not move
- the
Projectlist cannot be fetched ThreadorExecfails
Errors that are often easy to spot
- Codex CLI is missing
- Git is missing
- port conflicts
- health check failures
When the cause is still unclear, read General and Details first, then move into Logs.
