[Feature Request] Allow renaming chats or adding tags/labels for better project organisation

[danlie0]

I work across multiple projects in Codex at the same time.

Recently, Codex changed how chats are handled — new chats are now automatically named and there is no way to rename them manually.

This has made it much harder to stay organised. I often spend unnecessary time scrolling through chats trying to find the correct one, especially when multiple chats end up with very similar auto-generated names.

It would be extremely helpful if Codex supported one or more of the following:

The ability to manually rename a chat

Simple tags or labels that can be applied to chats (e.g. project name)

Optional colour-coding or visual indicators to group chats by project

Any of these would significantly improve usability for users managing multiple concurrent projects and reduce friction in day-to-day workflows.

Thanks for considering this — it would be a big quality-of-life improvement.

So, OpenAI are well aware of this missing core functionality.
Not being able to rename a chat is very messy and makes it hard to find old sessions.
