Re:Atuin Threads: All your agent sessions on every machine

If you only need this on one machine, I've been using my own tool, "aichat search", for the same thing. It's a Rust TUI over a Tantivy index of your Claude Code and Codex sessions. It indexes the session files in place rather than keeping its own copy.
On my machine, with ~22 GB of sessions, its index is under 1 GB, while Threads added 8.1 GB after importing the same sessions (it stores each conversation twice: once encrypted for sync, once for search). Agents can use it too (aichat search --json), and from a search result you can resume, or carry the work into a new session.
aichat also has other subcommands for working with sessions: porting one between Claude Code and Codex (or to another provider), rolling over to a fresh session that carries the context, trimming bloated sessions, moving a session to another project or account, etc.
No sync across machines; that's where Threads is nicer. Also Threads seems to show sub-agent relations and live-status, which mine doesn't. I like my TUI interface better though.
