Overview of session-kit

What it is

Session Kit is a command-line tool that manages multiple Claude Code and Codex AI coding sessions from a single menu. It keeps sessions running on the host machine even after the terminal window or SSH connection is closed, allowing users to re-enter any session by typing its assigned number. The project is in public beta at version 0.4.3, supports Linux with systemd and macOS 14 or newer, and is published as a passion project with no company, paid tier, or server telemetry.

Key features

• Lists all Claude Code and Codex sessions in one screen with status indicators (question, needs you, working, idle).
• Assigns a stable number to each session for quick re-entry.
• Sessions survive terminal and SSH disconnects, continuing to run on the host.
• Sessions are automatically named and colour-coded, with the name, number, and colour following into the session window.
• Supports using a different subscription account per session.
• Closed conversations can be recorded and restored.
• Delegated work from machine-origin sessions gets its own git worktree on a separate branch, which is handed back when the session closes.

Use cases

• Developers who run multiple Claude Code or Codex sessions simultaneously and need to track which session requires attention.
• Users working on a local workstation or over SSH to a remote host who want to avoid losing session context when disconnecting.
• Anyone who regularly has enough AI coding sessions open that they lose track of which one needs them.
