Disconnect from an SSH host
New
- Disconnect, in an SSH host's ⋯ menu, closes its tabs and stops all background work until you choose Connect.
Improved
- Switching tabs no longer stalls for seconds when an SSH host has hundreds of projects under /home.
JustSessions for Mac
Release notes
New features, improvements, and fixes.
A short history of what changed.
Choose a split view's tab
New
- Add Tab to New Split View (⌥⌘N) in the Tabs menu lists tabs to show beside the current one.
Improved
- The app does less work each second while an SSH host lists thousands of sessions.
Fixed
- Fixed repeated 10-second waits on an SSH host that doesn't answer: the app remembers the failure for a minute.
- Small bug fixes.
Sign in again on SSH hosts
New
- Sign-in command… in an SSH host's menu asks for its PIN or code in a dialog when sign-in is due.
See what SSH sessions are doing
New
- SSH sessions in tmux show what their CLI does and notify, even with no tab; Antigravity needs the host's python3.
- Archive sessions to hide them from Projects without deleting them; Show archived lists them again.
- Forward a port… in an SSH host's menu makes one of its ports reachable at localhost on this Mac.
- Interface size in Settings → Appearance scales the app's interface from 90% to 150%; terminals keep their font size.
Fixed
- Fixed session names being lost: Pi's /name in long sessions, and renames with several windows open.
SSH tabs reconnect on their own
New
- SSH tabs in tmux reconnect on their own after their connection drops, such as while your Mac sleeps.
- SSH hosts are checked in the background; problems show beside the host's name and above its ended tabs.
- A host check that finds a problem offers Fix with agent…, which starts a CLI to fix it.
Improved
- Tabs dragged out of the bar no longer slide back first; their new window opens under the pointer.
Fixed
- Small bug fixes.
Hosts refresh on their own
New
- Claude Code and Codex sessions show the model they used, with Codex's reasoning effort.
- Hosts refresh on their own while a window shows: This Mac every minute, SSH hosts every 5 minutes.
- End or delete several running sessions at once; their tabs close and their CLIs end first.
Improved
- Closing a CLI tab remembers your choice per host; a choice saved before this version resets to Ask each time.
Fixed
- Fixed Shift-← and other modified arrow keys not reaching Codex in SwiftTerm tabs.
Paste images and tune terminal colors
New
- ⌘V pastes a copied image into Claude Code in Ghostty tabs and on SSH hosts too.
- Color intensity in Appearance settings makes the terminal's 16 ANSI colors stronger or softer.
Fixed
- Colors from Claude Code and other 256-color CLIs no longer look faded in SwiftTerm tabs.
- Small bug fixes.
Select only the prompt with ⌘A
New
- ⌘A in a CLI's tab, except Kiro CLI, selects only its prompt, to copy, delete, or replace.
Improved
- Drag a tab or session to the middle of the terminals to show it alone; the sides still split.
Drag tabs into a split
New
- Drag a tab or a sidebar session onto the terminals to open it in a split view.
- ⌘←/⌘→ go to line start or end, ⌘⌫ deletes to line start, and ⌘Z undoes in Claude Code and shells.
- Select and copy text across messages, code, and tables when reading a conversation.
Improved
- Switching tabs no longer stalls when the sidebar lists many projects.
Fixed
- ⌘-click opens the whole link, even when a CLI wraps it onto the next row.
Notification bell and terminal find
New
- A bell in the sidebar lists sessions on this Mac waiting for you; click one to open it.
- ⌘F finds text in a terminal; in a session's tab, it searches the conversation in a reading window.
- Drop files on an SSH tab to copy them to the host and type their paths; folders aren't copied.
Improved
- The app uses less CPU while a CLI is working.
Tips in the sidebar
New
- The sidebar shows a short tip about what the app can do; turn tips off in Settings → Help.
Improved
- Tabs, group labels, and the tab bar's empty space each have their own right-click menu.
Fixed
- Small bug fixes.
Terminal links and splits across projects
New
- Right-click a link to open or copy it; files on this Mac also open in an editor or Finder.
Improved
- ⌘-click a link in either terminal engine to open it, including a file or folder path on this Mac.
- A split view of two projects' tabs now sits between their groups; each tab keeps its project's color and menu.
Fixed
- Small bug fixes.
SSH logins and Back/Forward
New
- Connect… on an SSH host's heading logs in to hosts that ask for a password, passphrase, or code.
- Go Back and Forward through tabs and sessions a window showed: title bar arrows, ⌘[ and ⌘].
Improved
- On this Mac, Antigravity CLI shows its activity; Codex on its background server shows approval waits.
- Ending a session from its row, or closing a tab whose CLI already ended, no longer asks first.
Fixed
- Small bug fixes.
Clearer tab and session menus
Improved
- A tab's right-click menu says Close Tab…; a session's row offers End session… to stop its CLI.
- Ghostty tabs draw text as SwiftTerm tabs do.
Fixed
- Segmented controls in Settings and the new session sheet show the selected choice in every theme.
- Small bug fixes.
Ghostty terminal engine
New
- Choose Ghostty's GPU-drawn terminal in Settings → Appearance → Terminal → Engine; tabs opened afterwards use it.
Improved
- Long OpenCode sessions open and page back faster: each page reads only its own messages.
- Terminals in a minimized window gather their output and stop drawing, as a hidden tab's do.
Fixed
- Fixed 1.2.0 crashing once Ghostty was chosen; if it crashes at launch, download 1.2.1 from the website.
- Small bug fixes.
Tab hover cards and Running filter
New
- Hover over a tab to see its full title, project, CLI, and status; hover a group to list its tabs.
- Filter the sidebar to Running sessions: CLIs running in a JustSessions tab or tmux, including on SSH hosts.
Improved
- Pinned projects and sessions keep the order you set; drag them in the sidebar to reorder.
Fixed
- Fixed Send Feedback never getting past verification; it now opens the feedback form in your browser.
- Fixed Claude Code sessions sometimes missing from the sidebar when the first prompt included an image.
New icon, theme colors, text zoom
New
- New comic-style app icon and logo, with a dark version for macOS 26's dark icon style.
- Customize a theme's background, sidebar, text, and other colors in Settings → Appearance.
- Zoom text with ⌘+, ⌘−, and ⌘0 in terminals and while reading a conversation.
- Open SSH projects in VS Code from “Open project in”; VS Code needs its Remote - SSH extension.
Improved
- Close and delete a session while its tab or tmux CLI is still running.
Terminal menu and SSH host setup
Improved
- Hide subagents in the sidebar by default; show them again in Settings → General.
- SSH hosts list each tool's sessions once copied, with progress such as 2/6 beside the host.
New
- Right-click a terminal to copy, paste, select all, or use its tab's menu items.
- Add SSH host tests the login first, explains failures, and accepts a pasted ssh command.
Fixed
- Fixed SSH hosts needing your shell profile's agent or PATH, or custom CLI history folders.
Tab dragging and SSH shell startup
New
- Drag a tab out to a new window, or onto another window's tab bar; its terminal keeps running.
Fixed
- Open the CLI, not a shell, on SSH hosts whose interactive startup starts tmux or another shell.
- If the app can't avoid a host's startup files, a warning beside the host links to the fix.
Subagents and readable themes
New
- List subagents under their session in the sidebar, except Kiro's; on SSH hosts, only Codex's and Antigravity's.
- Keep each session in one tab across windows, and move it to this window when tmux runs its CLI.
- Show unseen turns, Waiting for you, and notifications for Pi 0.80.4+ and OpenCode sessions on this Mac.
Improved
- Keep app and terminal text readable in every theme; Claude Code on SSH hosts follows light/dark switches.
Fixed
- Small bug fixes.
Unseen turns and terminal fonts
New
- Mark Claude Code and Codex sessions on this Mac with unseen finished turns, and filter with Waiting for you.
- Choose any installed monospaced terminal font, with Nerd Font icons except in System Monospaced.
- Drop files on a terminal tab on this Mac to type their paths.
- Read each version's changes in Settings → Release notes.
Improved
- Press Return to answer the close-tab dialog, or tick Don't ask again; change it in Settings → General.
Smoother conversation scrolling
Improved
- Long conversations scroll more smoothly.
Better control of your tabs
New
- Start a new agent session or plain terminal from a tab’s right-click menu.
Fixed
- Dragging a tab no longer moves the window. Drag empty tab-bar space to move it.
- Failed CLI launches keep their error and exit status visible in the tab.
Installer refresh
Improved
- A refreshed signed installer and update package with the same app changes as v1.0.6.
Session recovery and reading fixes
New
- Review and choose to report the previous launch’s crash when the app reopens.
Fixed
- Keep open tabs visible while reading a session preview or viewing a disconnected SSH session.
- Resume an ended session in its existing tab instead of opening a duplicate.
- Keep conversation reading positions steady.
- Fixed freezes when reading image messages.
Find messages across sessions
New
- Search saved message text from the sidebar and open the matching passage in its conversation.
- Create a missing folder when adding a project.
- Let SSH sessions use the host’s own tmux prefix.
Fixed
- Fixed a crash when opening Find in the conversation reader.
- Keep search matches loading after switching sessions.
Safer start-command editing
Improved
- Custom start commands require Edit and Save, and are checked before saving.
Custom CLI start commands
New
- Set a custom start command for each coding CLI on each host, including Kiro CLI.
Improved
- Session names written by a CLI appear promptly in the sidebar.
Just sessions, on your Mac
New
- Browse saved conversations by project, read them in a dedicated window, and continue in the original coding CLI.
- Keep agent sessions and plain terminals together in native tabs and split views.
- Browse and resume sessions on your own SSH hosts, with tmux support for processes that keep running.
