I'm also running into this in the Codex Desktop app.

My main use case is keeping several conversations open at the same time, for example:

• one long-running implementation thread
• one review or debugging thread
• one scratch thread for quick experiments

Right now switching between them means going back through the thread list or history, which adds a lot of friction and breaks flow. What would help most is browser-style conversation tabs across the top so active threads stay visible and are one click away.

The key part for me is persistent, fast switching between active conversations, not just history navigation. Pinning or reordering tabs would be a nice bonus, but even a minimal version would already make the app much easier to use for parallel work.
