Check a Thread

A Thread is one continuous conversation or unit of work. After opening a Project, the next step is choosing the thread you want in that workspace.

Because the common flow is "read what I asked before" or "add one more instruction to the work that is already running," the Thread screen is the place you will look at most in CodexPocket.

Open a Thread​

  1. Open a Project.
  2. Tap New Thread or choose an existing Thread from the list.
  3. Once the conversation loads, read through the latest content.

On iPhone, you can return to the thread list from the sidebar button in the upper-left corner. Away from the desk, remembering just Open Project -> Choose Thread is usually enough.

How to read the list​

  • a spinning indicator Work is still in progress in that Thread.
  • a blue dot There are unread updates.
  • one-line preview Lets you skim the latest content.
  • updated time Helps you tell which Thread is newest.

You can delete a Thread from the list once you no longer need it.

What to look at inside a Thread​

  • Work Log The part that shows what Codex is doing along the way.
  • Answer The user-facing response as a finished reply.
  • Back to latest Jumps you to the end when new output arrives while you are reading older content.

Even when the conversation grows long, looking at the end first is usually enough to recover your place quickly.

Start a new Thread or keep going?​

  • keep the same Thread when it is the same piece of work
  • use New Thread when it is a different task
  • use Fork from ... when you want to try a different direction while keeping the current context

If you are unsure, decide based on whether you want the conversation history kept together or split apart.

When the connection drops​

Even if the screen says live updates have stopped, the work on the Mac has not necessarily stopped. Often it is only the live stream on the iPhone that was interrupted.

Try these in order:

  1. wait a moment
  2. reopen the Thread
  3. refresh the screen

Once the connection comes back, the conversation history is synced again.
