SESSIONS

Your terminal state is preserved automatically. Close and reopen without losing anything.

Auto-Save

Session state is saved every 30 seconds, capturing everything needed to restore your workspace:

Window positions and dimensions
Tab order and titles
Pane layout and split tree structure
Working directories for each pane

Crash Recovery

If ori-term exits unexpectedly, stale PIDs are detected on next launch. You are prompted to restore your previous session, bringing back your full layout and scrollback history.

Scrollback Archive

Terminal output is written to disk in an append-only compressed format. This means your scrollback survives restarts and is available even after a crash.

Unlimited Scrollback

Scrollback is not limited to a fixed line count. A configurable memory limit controls how much is kept in RAM, with disk-backed overflow handling the rest. Scroll back as far as you need -- the archive is always there.

Archive Cleanup

A retention policy keeps disk usage under control:

Time limit -- archives older than 7 days are removed
Size limit -- total archive size capped at 1 GB
