About Vizhi
Vizhi (derived from the Tamil word for "eye") acts as a specialized mission control dashboard for monitoring and managing your Codex CLI sessions. Developed by indie developer Ravi Shankar, Vizhi is designed to keep an eye on active execution sessions so developers don't have to constantly tab back and forth into their terminal windows.
The tool provides deep integration with hardware controllers like the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, enabling users to keep track of up to six live sessions simultaneously. Through this physical interface, developers can perform quick action executions, such as one-press session approvals, and issue local voice prompts powered by Whisper.
For developers who do not own a hardware keypad, Vizhi provides a local browser dashboard that offers visibility and control over active sessions. As an open-source developer tool available on GitHub, Vizhi fits seamlessly into terminal-centric AI development workflows.
Pros of Vizhi
- Monitors up to six live Codex CLI sessions simultaneously
- Integrates with Logitech MX Creative Keypad for tactile, one-press approvals
- Supports local Whisper voice prompts for easy command input
- Offers a local browser dashboard for users without a physical keypad
- Open-source developer tool available on GitHub
Cons of Vizhi
- Full physical experience requires a specific device (Logitech MX Creative Keypad)
- Designed specifically around Codex CLI workflows rather than general terminal tasks
