What this is

The jumplist shows every agent session in one place and jumps you to the one you pick: the right terminal window and tmux pane, or the browser for remote work like CI runs. It is a floating panel that takes keys while your app keeps focus, and dismisses on esc, the shortcut, or a click elsewhere. Drag any background area to reposition it, like Alfred or Raycast. It remembers its position across opens and recenters if that spot is offscreen, for example after a display is unplugged.

Status marks

A bold title means unread. The amber mark alone means the session is asking for you.

Subtext

The line under each name is the latest line of the exchange. While a session works you see your prompt; once it finishes, asks, or fails you see its reply. The preview on the right highlights the same line with the colored bullet, so the list and the preview always agree.

Icons

The icon on each row shows the originator, taken from the event's agent field (see the data model). Each surface maps the agent name to its glyph. Known agents today, with the fallback for everything else:

IconAgent
claude - Claude Code
opencode - OpenCode
codex - Codex
πpi - pi
cursor - Cursor's own agent (the isometric-cube mark alone)
cursor/<agent> - an agent hosted in Cursor's terminal (e.g. cursor/claude): the Cursor mark with the sub-agent's glyph badged bottom-right in a clear halo
vscode/<agent> - an agent hosted in VS Code's terminal (e.g. vscode/claude): the VS Code ribbon mark with the sub-agent's glyph badged bottom-right in a clear halo
github - GitHub Actions
anything else (script, custom agents) - a plain ring, the fallback

Search and selection

The top of the panel is a search bar and it is always focused: any printable key filters the list live, matching the name, the prompt breadcrumb, the reply, and the agent. A query starting with # switches to tag mode - #demo shows only sessions carrying that tag (case-insensitive, exact match); clearing it restores all. Every open starts with an empty search. Any additional filters apply underneath the search, to this list and the menu bar dropdown alike.

Rows keep the order you work in (most recently engaged first, like the app switcher), with pinned sessions first; status does not reorder them. The panel opens with the topmost unread row selected, and selection stays topmost-unread within the filtered rows.

Hidden sessions

Hiding a session with ⌃X drops it from the list until it speaks again. To bring one back before then, the jumplist mirrors the mobile app: a collapsed Hidden (N) divider sits at the bottom of the list, below every visible row. It is always shown once the board has a session, Hidden (0) included, so it is always clear whether a session is set aside - a missing row is otherwise a mystery. Hidden (0) is inert (no chevron, nothing to expand). With a count, select it and press (or click it) to expand: the hidden rows appear beneath it, dimmed and marked with an eye-slash. ⌃X on a hidden row unhides it - the same key that hid it, reversed (it fires the show event) - and it rejoins the list above. Press on the divider again to collapse. A live search reaches into the hidden rows too, revealing the section when a match is tucked inside it, so a hidden session is never lost - only set aside.

Pinning and the row menu

Pin a session to keep it at the top: pinned sessions sort before the rest (engagement order within each group) and carry a quiet pin mark on the row and in the menu bar dropdown. Order is a hub decision: the app shows the order the hub sends and does not re-sort locally. Pin or unpin the selected row with ⌃P; pins survive agent activity and hub restarts.

Right-click any row for the same actions as a menu: Pin/Unpin, Rename, Hide (or Unhide on a revealed hidden row), and Remove.

Preview

The right pane is the last exchange, on black like the terminal it quotes: your prompt, then the agent's reply. The bullet is amber for asks and blue for finished work. While a session works you see a live ✻ Working… line with the runtime. The line above the footer says exactly where takes you, for example "Jump to iTerm (tmux dwmkerr:1) on localhost".

Shortcuts

Typing is searching, so list commands use the control key:

KeysAction
Jump to the selected session (marks it seen)
⌃J ⌃K or arrowsDown / up
⌃1 ⌃2Jump directly to a session
Next unread
⌃PPin / unpin the selected session (pinned sessions sort first)
⌃RRename session (your own name for it; empty clears)
⌃XHide until the session speaks again; on a row in the expanded Hidden section, unhide it
⌃⌫Remove now
⌘,Open Settings (same as the footer cog)
⌘+ ⌘− ⌘0Zoom the jumplist in / out / reset (0.8×-1.6×, persists)
escClear the search, then close

Zoom scales the whole panel, geometry and text together, and text stays crisp for dense screens or recordings. The footer keys strip stays unchanged; ⌘+/−/0 are universal conventions and the strip is already full.
