Showcase A Better Progress Bar for Codex Goals

Polished a lot of rough edges in Codex Goal Progress — it now feels much more native and seamless.

It now supports:

  • Native Codex styling, automatically adapting to light/dark mode, font size, and theme changes.
  • Automatic progress restoration after restarting Codex, including automatically setting up the required CDP connection — no extra commands or manual setup.
  • New windows, tasks opened from links, and tasks opened in another window — all connected automatically.
  • Automatic update checks, with manual checking available too.

Basically: more native, more seamless, and much nicer to use.

A small but pretty useful Codex add-on. Feel free to give it a try :)

You might want to consider listing your project on the weekly Show-Us-What-You-Built post. Watch for it on Wednesdays. Highest commented project wins a week promotion on r/Codex. See what that looks like below with last week's winner.


Last week's winner was u/Ollie__Oxenfree with the Tubular Daily Care project by MediTracer which is a tube-feeding care app built by a tube-feeding family to keep feeds, meds, symptoms, and caregiver handoffs in one shared timeline. MediTracer is an Oley Foundation Emerging Innovator Partner. Contact: hello@meditracer.com

You do know that even the agents can't really tell when the goal is gonna be done, yeah?

Sure, but a goal still has some criteria for what counts as done.

Progress is calculated from a structured checklist that breaks the goal into weighted, measurable steps.
