Feature request: mark/pin/favorite sessions to distinguish important ones #41231
Closed as not planned
Description
Feature Description
Add the ability to mark/pin/favorite specific sessions in the TUI so important sessions (e.g. ongoing work on a main project) stand out from casual one-off sessions.
Currently sessions can only be listed and switched via /sessions, ordered by recency. With many projects and many sessions, it's hard to quickly find the sessions that are actively being worked on, especially after a few days.
Proposed Behavior
- In the /sessions list, allow marking a session as pinned/favorite (e.g. a keybind like p, or a marker icon like a star/pin).
- Pinned sessions could be sorted to the top or shown in a separate group.
- Persist the pinned state (stored alongside session metadata in the session storage).
- Optionally support pinning via CLI, e.g. opencode session pin .
Alternatives Considered
- Relying on descriptive session titles (sessions are auto-titled by the first message) - works but is fragile.
- Exporting important sessions with /export or opencode export - useful for archiving, but doesn't help with quick resume.
Use Case
User works on several projects at once: one main project (long-running, resumed daily) and many casual tasks. A pin/star feature would make resuming the important session one keypress away instead of hunting through a long session list.
Thanks for considering this!
