New tool `claude-sessions` restores lost terminal state after crashes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new tool called `claude-sessions` has been developed to address the issue of losing terminal state after a machine crash, specifically when using Claude Code sessions. Unlike macOS's built-in window restoration, which fails to restore processes and can incorrectly restore closed tabs, `claude-sessions` creates explicit snapshots of terminal states. These snapshots capture processes, working directories, and active Claude sessions, storing them as JSON history. Users can then restore their exact previous terminal layout, including running Claude sessions in their correct directories, by using the `claude-sessions --restore-crash` or `claude-sessions --restore-pick` commands.
