I have been using Codex Desktop App extensively for past few months. Overall a good experience. But there are a few things I miss every day.

What are your missing features to help your workflow? Maybe @OpenAIOpenAI will read this and consider adding them :crossed_fingers:

Mine:

  • Reset context of current chat (not just compact).

  • Chat outline of your questions and jump back and forward quickly. Sometimes session are so long that is hard to find your question.

  • Annotate attached files. Like clicking on an image and dropping a pin or a shape and adding a numbered comment. Basically what you can do in the browser. Adding notes to videos would be great too.

  • Keep a list of snippets project or system wide which you can select and paste to chat box. Some often used command to work on. Like: Look at TASK-X, is anything not clear or conflicting… ask question, etc. Now I have a snippet file, but a quick selection from the app would help the workflow.

Thanks for sharing this, @ddofborg. These all sound like thoughtful workflow improvements, especially the ability to fully reset a chat's context, navigate long conversations more easily, and reuse common prompts without leaving the app.

I've shared this feedback with our team so it can be logged and considered alongside other feature requests. Posts like this are genuinely helpful because they include concrete, day-to-day pain points instead of just a wish list.

I'm also curious what other folks are missing from their workflows. The more real-world use cases people share, the easier it is to understand which improvements would have the biggest impact.
