Sessions and Session Dock

back2vibing exposes sessions in two places:

  • The Session Dock is the fast overlay for live work.
  • The Sessions tab is the full list for history, resume, and cleanup.

Use the Session Dock

Section titled “Use the Session Dock”

Move the pointer to the top edge of the screen or use the shortcut shown in Keyboard.

  • Click a session to focus it.
  • Hover a live session to peek without moving keyboard focus.
  • Move away to return the peeked window to its previous position.
  • Dictate over a peek to send it straight there: start your dictation app while a session is peeked, and it types into that session instead of the app you were typing in. When you stop, the session stays focused with your words in its input; edit them if needed, then press Enter to send. Choose Keep draft on the dock card to return to the dock while leaving the draft in the session. Works with macOS Dictation, Wispr Flow, and other dictation apps selected in Focus settings.
  • Use + Agent in a workspace group to start another agent in that workspace.
  • Open Workspaces to create a worktree, add agents, or run Sync & Test for a workspace group.

When the experimental Prompt Panel is enabled for a supported agent, permission and question controls also appear in the dock.

Watch the active session move from terminal to Conductor to Cursor to Codex.

Use the Sessions tab

Section titled “Use the Sessions tab”

Choose the filter that matches the task:

  • Active — live sessions you can focus now.
  • Recents — live and historical sessions.
  • Workspaces — sessions grouped around repositories and worktrees.

An inactive session may offer Resume, Open App, or Copy command, depending on what the agent supports.

Remove sessions

Section titled “Remove sessions”
  • Deleting a live session ends it but keeps it in history.
  • Deleting an inactive session removes it from history.
  • Select several rows for bulk resume-command copying or deletion.

Change dock behavior

Section titled “Change dock behavior”
  • Dock — preferred terminal and agent, workspace launcher, and the workflow new sessions open in: a terminal tab or pane, tmux, Zellij, or Herdr. Herdr is the recommended workflow; see Workspaces.
  • Keyboard — Session Dock shortcut.
  • Focus — alert behavior and Prompt Panel handling.

See Workspaces for workspace creation and Sync & Test.
