Every conversation is a session. Empryo auto-saves sessions as JSONL files to ~/.empryo/sessions/ with crash-resilient incremental writes. You can resume any past session, export it, or start fresh.

Resume

Press Ctrl+P to open the session picker. Filter by text, pick a session, continue where you left off.

From the CLI:

empryo --headless --session <prefix> "now add tests"

Session IDs match by short prefix, so abc finds abc123....

Auto-save

Sessions save after every turn. No manual save needed. If Empryo crashes, the session reconstructs fully on relaunch, including mid-stream tool calls.

Export

/session export markdown
/session export json
/session export clipboard
/session export all          full diagnostic dump (prompt + tools)
/session export api          toggle per-step API request logging

Checkpoint tags

Sessions carry their checkpoint git tags. Restoring a session restores its undo history. Deleting a session cleans up its tags.

Shortcuts

Key	Action
`Ctrl+P`	Browse sessions
`Ctrl+N`	New session (saves current)
`Ctrl+B` / `Ctrl+F`	Walk checkpoints within a session

Multiple tabs

Each tab inside a session keeps its own messages and checkpoint history. Tabs persist across saves and resumes.
