Offline Codex Desktop migration for Windows and macOS.

What it solves

Codex ReHome is a tool designed to migrate user data from one computer to another for the Codex Desktop application. It allows users to move their projects, conversations, skills, and plugins without relying on a cloud sync service, providing an offline migration path for users switching devices or reinstalling their systems.

How it works

The tool operates as a desktop application that bundles selected content into a single .rehome file. The process involves three steps:

  1. Export: On the original computer, the user selects the specific projects, conversations, and plugins they wish to migrate and generates a .rehome file.
  2. Transfer: The user manually transfers this file via a cloud drive, USB drive, or local network to the new computer.
  3. Import: After installing and logging into Codex on the new machine, the user imports the .rehome file to restore the data.

Who it’s for

Developers and users of Codex Desktop who need to move their work history and configurations across different operating systems (Windows and macOS) or perform backups before system re-installation.

Highlights

  • Cross-Platform Support: Supports migration between Windows and macOS in any direction.
  • Offline Privacy: The migration process is entirely offline; data is not uploaded to any servers and no administrator privileges are required.
  • Comprehensive Data Migration: Migrates projects, project files, and local indices for conversations, as well as skills, plugins, and generated images.
  • Large File Handling: Uses streaming processing for files and conversations up to 16 GiB.
  • Curation of Sensitive Data: Automatically excludes login tokens, cookies, .env files, and private keys to ensure security during transfer.

    BugTraceAI/BugTraceAI

    BugTraceAI is an open‑source, self‑hosted platform that uses autonomous AI agents together with Go fuzzers, Playwright browsers, and classic security tools to perform bug‑bounty and penetration‑testing scans. It ships four main components—CLI scanner, React web dashboard, Docker‑based launcher, and an extensible MCP agent framework—plus a deliberately vulnerable practice app (BugStore). The system runs locally (AGPL‑3.0), supports model benchmarking, authenticated scanning, and generates detailed reports. It’s designed for hunters, DevSecOps pipelines, and security education.
