codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex App: support folders and subfolders to organize projects in the sidebar [1 comments, 2 participants]

What feature would you like to see?

Add support for organizing Codex App projects into folders and nested subfolders in the sidebar.

Examples:

• Clients/Project A
• Clients/Project B
• Personal/Experiments
• Work/Backend/API Gateway

This should be a UI-level organization feature for projects/workspaces, not just filesystem detection.

Why this matters

As the number of projects grows, the current flat project list becomes harder to manage.

Many users naturally group repositories by:

• client
• company/team
• area (frontend, backend, infra)
• type of work (experiments, production, docs)
• parent initiative/program

Without folders/subfolders, the sidebar becomes noisy and it takes longer to find the right project.

Proposed behavior

• Allow creating folders in the Codex App sidebar.
• Allow nesting subfolders.
• Allow moving existing projects into folders/subfolders.
• Allow collapsing/expanding folders.
• Preserve project/thread history when reorganizing items.
• Keep this independent from the local filesystem layout, so users can organize projects logically.
• Optionally allow sorting within each folder.

Related context

There is already a related feature request for project containers and shared project context:

• #13836

That request is about project-scoped chats/context/files. This request is narrower and focused on sidebar organization and navigation for many projects.

Are you interested in implementing this feature?

No, I'm requesting the capability as a product feature.
