I'm experimenting with a less boring local workbench interface for Codex

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Codex a lot recently, and I kept feeling that the agent is powerful, but the working interface can still feel a bit plain.

So as a personal experiment, I started building a futuristic local workbench interface for Codex on Windows.

Not a chatbot.
Not just a theme.
More like a visual control console around Codex.

My goal is not to replace Codex. I just want the workbench to feel more alive while still showing useful things, like:

  • current Codex / session status
  • quota or usage display
  • quick actions
  • plugin / action areas
  • task progress
  • places for logs or approvals

I’m curious how other Codex users think about this:

If you were using a visual Codex workbench every day, what information or buttons would you want always visible?

Here are a few screenshots from the current prototype.
