v1.6.1
This patch release fixes two macOS app issues:
- Bundled Python builds now include the required backend runtime scripts in
Contents/Resources, avoiding backend JSON parsing failures when the app starts. - The advanced restart sync flow now quits Codex first, syncs while Codex is closed, reopens Codex, then performs a final cleanup pass. This prevents a small number of provider/model-mismatched threads from being written back during Codex startup.
Downloads
| Situation | Download |
|---|---|
| You already have a working Python 3 + tkinter environment and want the smallest download | Codex-History-Sync-Tool-v1.6.1-Lite.dmg |
| You do not have Python installed, or the Lite build quits immediately, and your Mac has Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4 etc.) | Codex-History-Sync-Tool-v1.6.1-Apple-Silicon.dmg |
| You do not have Python installed, or the Lite build quits immediately, and your Mac has an Intel processor | Codex-History-Sync-Tool-v1.6.1-Intel.dmg |
The Apple Silicon and Intel builds bundle their own Python/Tk runtime. They do not modify the user's system Python.
Accessibility Permission
The Advanced: Restart Codex and sync threads button needs macOS Accessibility permission so it can confirm Codex quit dialogs. If Codex does not fully close, or the tool shows an error while quitting/restarting Codex, open System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Accessibility and enable Codex History Sync Tool.
If it is already enabled but still fails, remove Codex History Sync Tool from the Accessibility list, add /Applications/Codex History Sync Tool.app again, enable it, then quit and reopen the tool.
Checks
- All three DMGs were verified with
hdiutil verify. - The Apple Silicon DMG contains an
arm64executable. - The Intel DMG contains an
x86_64executable. - All three app bundles include the required backend runtime scripts.
- A temp Codex home sync test completed with no remaining provider/model/session-meta work.

Notes
The app is still not signed or notarized with an Apple Developer ID. If macOS blocks it as an unidentified developer app, use Finder right-click > Open or System Settings > Privacy & Security.
