Problem or use case

On iOS/iPad apps when a session is actively running, the sessions panel displays a “Working” status. However, once the task finishes, the status disappears and there is no visual indication that the session has completed or that its latest output has not yet been reviewed.

This becomes difficult when working with multiple projects or sessions in parallel, because users cannot easily identify which sessions have finished and still require their attention.

It would be helpful to display an unread or unreviewed indicator for completed sessions, similar to the blue dot Codex shows next to sessions that have not yet been opened.

Proposed solution

Add an unread or unreviewed state for sessions that finish while the user is viewing another session.

When a task completes, show a persistent visual indicator in the sessions panel, such as a blue dot next to the session name. The indicator should remain visible until the user opens that session.

Suggested behavior:

• Show “Working” while the task is running.
• Replace it with an unread indicator when the task finishes.
• Keep the indicator visible even after restarting the app.
• Clear the indicator when the user opens the completed session.
• Optionally, show a tooltip or accessibility label such as “Completed — not yet viewed.”

This would make it easier to manage several projects or sessions running in parallel and quickly identify which completed results still need review.

Why this matters

When multiple projects or sessions are running in parallel, users need a reliable way to know which tasks have finished and still require review.

Currently, once the “Working” status disappears, a completed session becomes visually indistinguishable from one that has already been reviewed. This makes it easy to overlook finished work, delays feedback, and forces users to repeatedly open sessions to check their status.

A persistent unread indicator would reduce unnecessary context switching, make parallel workflows easier to manage, and help ensure that completed results are not missed.

Smallest useful scope

Show a persistent unread indicator, such as a blue dot, when a session finishes while the user is viewing another session. Clear the indicator when the user opens that completed session.

No notifications, badges, tooltips, or additional status states are required for the initial implementation.
