- For
- Developers running long-lived terminal or AI-agent sessions
- Worth noticing
- The page says a reboot restores each session in its folder and runs an agent’s resume command for Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI.
Field notes
The installation section offers desktop downloads for macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus npm, Bun, and Cargo routes. The page says the Cargo build includes the web UI and needs no Node.js; its example dashboard runs locally at 127.0.0.1:4317. A sample workspace places shell sessions, a browser, and an editor together, while the page also describes a phone tunnel and plugins for Git, Docker, and databases.
