VS Code: Account-Linked Cross-Device Session Sync
What variant of Codex are you using?
IDE Extension
What feature would you like to see?
I’d like to suggest adding an option for account-linked, cross-device session synchronization in the Codex VS Code extension. Specifically, it would be extremely valuable if chat history, editing context, and reasoning state could be securely persisted in the cloud and tied to a user’s OpenAI account rather than stored only locally. This would allow developers to seamlessly resume a Codex session on another machine (e.g., laptop, desktop, or remote environment) and maintain full conversational and architectural continuity within the same repository. Ideally, this would integrate natively into VS Code, automatically offering to resume synced sessions per workspace while still allowing users to opt out for privacy-sensitive projects. Such a feature would significantly improve multi-device workflows and align Codex with modern cloud-synced development practices.

Is session persistence not planned or was the VS Code extension-level of specificity the part that was rejected here?
We prioritize features based on community feedback (upvotes). If a feature request doesn't get enough upvotes, we close it. It's possible there are other feature requests that overlap. It's also possible that the original feature request description or title were written in a way that was hard for others to understand and therefore not appealing enough to upvote. You're welcome to open a new feature request with a revised title and description if you'd like.
Gotcha, thanks!
