## Why The resume/fork picker is becoming the main way users recover previous work, but the old fixed table made sessions hard to scan once thread names, branches, working directories, and timestamps all mattered. This redesign makes the picker denser by default, easier to search, and safer to inspect before resuming or forking. <table> <tr> <td> <img width="1660" height="1103" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-03 at 12 34 10" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/313ede1d-1da4-4863-acd2-56b3e27e9703" /> </td> <td> <img width="1662" height="1100" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-03 at 12 34 15" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cfde7d5c-bab0-4994-a807-254e53f344ea" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img width="1664" height="1107" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-03 at 12 39 22" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e1ee58ca-4dc5-4a35-ae0f-47562da3974c" /> </td> <td> <img width="1662" height="1100" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-03 at 12 35 09" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9c888072-eedf-4f45-985c-0c14df28bcc7" /> </td> </tr> </table> ## What Changed - Replaces the old session table with responsive session rows that prioritize the session name or preview, then show timestamp, cwd, and branch metadata. - Makes dense view the default while keeping comfortable view available through `Ctrl+O`. - Persists the picker view preference in `[tui].session_picker_view`, including active profile-scoped config. - Adds sort/filter controls for updated time, created time, cwd, and all sessions. - Expands search matching across session name, preview, thread id, branch, and cwd. - Makes `Esc` safer in search mode: it clears an active query before starting a new session. - Adds lazy transcript inspection: - `Space` expands recent transcript context inline. - `Ctrl+T` opens a transcript overlay. - raw reasoning visibility follows `show_raw_agent_reasoning`. - Keeps remote cwd filtering server-side for remote app-server sessions so local path normalization does not incorrectly hide remote results. - Updates snapshots and config schema for the new picker states and config option. ## How to Test 1. Start Codex in a repo with several saved sessions. 2. Press `Ctrl+R` / resume picker entry point. 3. Confirm the picker opens in dense mode and shows session name or preview, timestamp, cwd, and branch metadata. 4. Press `Ctrl+O` and confirm it switches between dense and comfortable views. 5. Restart Codex and confirm the selected view persists. 6. Type a query that matches a branch, cwd, thread id, or session name; confirm matching sessions appear. 7. Press `Esc` while the query is non-empty and confirm it clears search instead of starting a new session. 8. Select a session and press `Space`; confirm recent transcript context expands inline. 9. Press `Ctrl+T`; confirm the transcript overlay opens and respects raw-reasoning visibility settings.

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
