How It Works

Codex CLI stores conversation history in ~/.codex/. This tool reads that data and presents it in a web interface with:

• Session list - All your conversations, sorted by recency
• Project filter - Focus on a specific project
• Conversation view - Full message history with tool calls
• Session header - Shows conversation title, project name, and timestamp
• Resume command - Copies the command to resume the conversation
• Real-time updates - SSE streaming for live conversations

Requirements

• Node.js 20+
• Codex CLI installed and used at least once
