AI Session Continuity
Close and reopen 1DevTool, and your AI terminals show the previous conversation as scrollback — with one-click resume and auto-restart for Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Amp.
Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
You close your laptop, restart the app, or switch branches — and your AI agent's context is gone. You spend the next 5 minutes re-explaining what you were working on, re-attaching files, and trying to remember where the conversation left off. AI Session Continuity solves this by preserving your previous conversation as dimmed scrollback text with a clear "Previous session" separator. A one-click Resume button appears on any AI terminal with a prior session, using the correct resume format for each agent automatically. Claude and Codex terminals even auto-resume on app restart — your tab name updates to show the first prompt from your last conversation so you can orient instantly. Each terminal detects its own session from the agent's history files, so even multiple terminals of the same agent running in one project resume correctly. The Resume panel also filters by your current project, making it fast to find exactly the conversation you need.

Why It Matters
The productivity impact of having terminal & ai agents built into your workspace
Zero Context Switching
All your AI agents and terminals live in one window. No more alt-tabbing between 5 different terminal apps.
Visual Status Tracking
Color-coded tabs and the Kanban dashboard tell you which agents are done, running, or need attention — at a glance.
Persistent Sessions
Tmux-backed persistence means your terminal state survives crashes and restarts. Never lose scrollback history again.
Flexible Arrangements
One-click layouts adapt to your task: grid for monitoring, columns for comparing, fullscreen for deep focus.
