Picked the ChatGPT app in npx prized on a Mac with the app installed? Your box and synced folder are already there: open the app and pick the project. If you installed the app afterwards, add the box below.

Add your box

With Prized set up on this Mac (Quickstart), open Settings > Connections in the ChatGPT app:

  1. Click Add under SSH connections from this Mac.

    The Connections page in the ChatGPT app's settings, with an Add button under SSH connections from this Mac

  2. Tick your box and click Add. It is listed by its name.

  3. Check it says Connected, then pick a project on the box; synced projects are in ~/code.

    The saved connection, fig, switched on and Connected

From your phone

The ChatGPT mobile app connects to the box directly, no Mac needed:

  1. Open the box in the dashboard, go to Settings, and click Set up beside Phone access. Generate the password; it is shown once.
  2. In the ChatGPT app, open Settings > Connections > Add SSH host and paste the host, port, username, and password.
  • One password per box. A new one replaces the old, and Revoke ends it.
  • Connecting wakes a paused box.
  • Terminal only. No port forwarding; use prized ports on your Mac.
  • Idle connections close after about fifteen minutes; the app reconnects on its own.

No Add SSH host? OpenAI is still rolling it out; update the app and look again.
