cont

Find and resume coding agent sessions from the terminal. Supports Pi, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Oh My Pi.

Install

Requires Rust and a C compiler. The agents you use must be on your PATH.

cargo install --git https://src.liamrohan.com/ldr/cont.git --locked

Usage

cont                         # sessions in the current directory
cont --all                   # sessions across all directories
cont --all auth refactor      # search sessions
cont --agent claude           # filter by agent
cont -C ~/code/my-project     # use a different directory
cont --all --list postgres    # search without the terminal UI
cont --all --json             # JSON output
cont --print                 # print the selected session's command

Type to search titles and human messages. Press Enter to resume a session in its original directory.

Key	Action
Up / Down	Move selection
Tab	Switch between the current directory and all directories
Shift-Tab	Cycle agents
Ctrl-L	Choose a directory
Ctrl-R	Refresh sessions
Esc	Clear search, then quit
Ctrl-C	Quit

Directory filtering matches the exact directory, excluding subdirectories.

Run cont --help for all options. See configuration for session paths, custom stores and search behaviour.

Privacy

Reads local session stores without uploading conversations or modifying session logs. The cache contains human messages in plaintext under ${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-~/.cache}/cont/. Use --no-cache to disable it, or delete that directory to remove cached text.

Development

See CONTRIBUTING.md for build and test instructions.
