   Thanks for the suggestion! You're asking for a Codex-style session sidebar: sessions grouped in collapsible projects that you can reorder, a right-click action that archives all of a project's sessions, at most 5 sessions per project with a "show more" link, and pinned sessions at the top. Maintainers will consider it.

   Several parts of this are already tracked, if you'd like to follow or upvote them:

   • desktop/web: group sidebar sessions by project like Codex Projects view #55446: group sidebar sessions by project, like the Codex Projects view
   • [FEATURE]: Collapsible project groups and archive filter for the session sidebar #60581: collapsible project groups and an archive filter for the session sidebar
   • [FEATURE]: Session pinning in the Desktop app (TUI parity) #55764: session pinning in the Desktop app (PRs feat(app): pin Home sessions #61647 and feat(app): add project grouping, filtering, and pinned sessions to sidebar inbox #59220 are open for pinning and project grouping)
   • feat: delete projects and bulk-delete a project's sessions #59580: delete a project and its sessions in bulk (similar to archiving a whole project)
   • [FEATURE] Option to show all sessions in the session list without repeated 'Load more' #46123: show all sessions without repeated "Load more"
   • [FEATURE]: Allow GUI plugins to replace the left session navigation #61296: let GUI plugins replace the left session navigation, which would make custom layouts like this possible

   +1, this is the part that hurts once you have more than two or three projects. Until a grouped sidebar lands, a workaround that gets you most of the way from the CLI: opencode session list --format json includes each session's directory, so you can group by project and keep the newest 5 per project:

   opencode session list --format json -n 200 | jq -r '
     group_by(.directory)[] | sort_by(-.updated)
     | "\(.[0].directory) (\(length))", (.[:5][] | "  \(.id)  \(.title)")'

   Then opencode -s <id> (or --fork) reopens the one you want, and opencode session delete <id> clears the old ones by hand. Not as nice as archive or pin in the UI, but it makes "which session was that, in which repo" a one-liner.

   Disclosure: I build VibeiDE, which keeps a task list per project for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode, so I'm biased toward the grouping you describe.
