Welcome to the forum!

Short answer:  
Closest open GitHub OpenAI Codex enhancement:

> <https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/5609?utm_source=chatgpt.com>
>
> \### What feature would you like to see?
> 
> I'd like to be able to see all my chats… on whatever platform I am on, but specifically for me, when I am using:
> 
> 1. ChatGPT website
> 2. ChatGPT website \> Codex
> 3. VScode, with Codex extension, on desktop
> 4. e.g. GitHub Codespaces, on VScode, with Codex extension, on desktop (or Codespaces in browser with VScode)
> 
> \- So that any work done with chats on my local desktop, is then visible in e.g. Codespaces when I spin up (and vice versa).  
> \- Also so that while away from desktop / laptop, any ideas I may have that I throw in a chat on my phone, also show up.
> \- ChatGPT Projects would be an obvious use case I can think of, to be able to load in VScode \> Codex extension. That way, I can neatly drop any 'bright ideas' I may have, in a place that then makes sense.  
> 
> At the moment, if I switch from VScode on desktop, to VScode (Codespaces), neither sees the other's chat history / tasks.
> 
> I have a janky workaround running that scans ~/.codex/sessions, then pulls each individual chat and formats to a .md file in a /worklog directory. So at least I can refer back to them (haven't yet tried the other way, to have these 'worklogs' pull in to my actual ChatGPT sessions history, but maybe that will work)
> 
> But it would be a very nice feature, I think, if ChatGPT 'just remembered' our history, wherever I was.

> FYI We prioritize feature requests based on upvotes from the community. If a feature request doesn’t get enough upvotes, we’ll close it. It’s therefore important for a feature request to have a clear and compelling title and description. We also recommend that feature requests focus on the problem statement rather than a solution. Describe the use case and what problem you’d like to see solved. There are often multiple ways to address a given problem.

It noted

### 1. **Sync my chats, conversation history between ChatGPT website and Codex (VS Code)**

- **Issue:** #5609 _(open, labeled enhancement)_
- **Summary:** Request to have chat history/conversation history sync across platforms — specifically between ChatGPT web and Codex (VS Code extension).
- **Details:**
  - The user wants chat history visible across platforms: ChatGPT web, Codex within editors, and between desktop/browser sessions.
  - Current behavior: chat history isn’t shared between environments, causing fragmentation.
  - Includes about VS Code but the _intent_ closely matches your request for cross-environment sync (e.g., IntelliJ + ChatGPT web).

- **Reactions:** ~10 👍 (indicating community support).
- **Status:** Open.

> **Relevance:** This is the closest existing enhancement tracked in the repo. It captures the core idea of _synchronizing conversational context/history across Codex editor integrations and the ChatGPT web interface_.
