Show HN: Tmux-restore saves tmux windows and agent sessions across reboots

Re:Show HN: Tmux-restore saves tmux windows and agent sessio... by boldi on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @02:45PM (#50357160)

Hi everyone I built this since it'd be so frustrating to have all my tmux windows with different paths and layouts all destroyed when restarting my computer (e.g. for installing drivers). It also resumes e.g. claude code sessions. Hope it helps!

Love it! I've been doing this manually when I need to restart my hosts :) Would it be possible to have instructions to install it that don't involve executing a script? Something as simple as the dependencies I need to install and the tmux config required would be super helpful.

I forked Zed to pass a ZED_TERMINAL_ID which is tied to the individual shell pane, using it to restore whatever agent session I had running in that pane. I keep 10+ Zed windows open with 1 to 4 agent panes, a reboot used to be a disaster.

In order to try this, do I need to remove my current tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum?
