After OpenAI / Codex sign-in, can you return to FinchStory and keep working?
The short answer
Yes. After web sign-in, you return directly to FinchStory and the account state continues with you. Model refresh is easier to find, and existing Codex history can continue to be used.
Web sign-in returns directly to FinchStory
When OpenAI / Codex authorization needs to happen in the browser, completing it takes you back to FinchStory so you can continue the account flow you started.
Your account state carries on
After an update or reopen, the existing signed-in state continues to support account renewal, reducing the need to stop and handle sign-in again.
Model refresh is easier to find
The model refresh action now sits next to the API Key field, making it easier to refresh the model list when needed.
Existing Codex history can continue to be used
When you return to existing work, FinchStory continues reading the related Codex history so previous content can be picked up more smoothly.
