I would love a Codex Projects dashboard / cross-project organizer.

The core idea is a home view that can summarize and organize work across all Codex projects and threads, not just one active project at a time. Right now, Codex is extremely useful inside a single repo/thread, but once you have several active projects, it becomes easy to lose track of what happened where. The user has to mentally manage all project state, recent work, next steps, uncommitted changes, running servers, and pending follow-ups.

A dashboard could show each project with:

• latest active threads
• last activity time
• recent summary of what changed
• current branch / git status
• whether there are uncommitted changes
• running servers or background tasks
• pending approvals / follow-ups
• suggested next action

The high-value AI feature would be a global Codex chat that can answer questions across projects, for example:

• “What did I do this week across all projects?”
• “Summarize each active project and what the next step is.”
• “Which projects have uncommitted changes?”
• “Which threads are waiting on me?”
• “Find all TODOs mentioned in my recent Codex sessions.”
• “Which project is closest to shipping?”
• “Open the RoofLeadOps project and continue from the last task.”
• “Give me a weekly report of what changed in each repo.”

This would make Codex feel much more like an operating system for agent work instead of isolated project sessions.

Additional information

As users start running multiple agents and multiple projects, the bottleneck becomes organization, not code generation.

Agents create output fast, but users need a way to keep track of:

• what happened
• what changed
• what needs review
• what should happen next
• which project needs attention

For agent-heavy users, a cross-project dashboard could become a daily home base. It would also increase retention because Codex would become the place users return to manage their ongoing work, not just a tool they open for one coding task.
