opencode-session-manager

TUI for managing, recovering, and relocating OpenCode sessions across renamed or moved project directories.

opencode-sm is an interactive terminal companion for OpenCode. It addresses a long-standing pain point: renaming or moving a project folder makes all its chat sessions disappear from the OpenCode UI, even though the conversation history is still safe in the local SQLite database.

Version

0.1.0-alpha.5 — pre-release. The feature set is functional but not yet production-stable. Expect breaking schema changes until 1.0.0.

Why

OpenCode stores each session's working directory as an absolute path at creation time and never updates it. After a folder rename, the UI filters out sessions whose directory no longer resolves on disk, even though session.project_id is still valid (it is derived from the git root commit hash, which is stable across renames).

opencode-sm bridges that gap and adds session management features OpenCode does not yet ship.

Features

Session Browser

• Browse all sessions in one place, split into Orphans and Active tabs
• Detail preview for any selected session: status, path, agent, timestamps
• Scrollable chat preview with markdown rendering (bold, italic, code, lists, headings, blockquotes) and scrollbar indicator
• Fixed "Chat Preview" header (doesn't scroll away)
• Toggle between orphans/active via tab, shift+tab, left/right arrows
• Live filter via list component
• OpenCode-inspired dark theme (Lipgloss)

Re-link Flow

• Press r on any session to attempt automatic re-link via project_id
• Auto re-link succeeds when the project's worktree is found in the database (derived from git root commit hash)
• On auto re-link failure, a colored result modal explains the cause and offers "try manual remap instead" as a one-key fallback
• Manual fallback (also bound to m) lets you browse the filesystem via Bubble filepicker to pick the new directory yourself
• Confirmation modal showing old/new path, strategy, and backup info
• Running OpenCode instance detection (Linux) with warning and optional SIGTERM kill before destructive writes

Move All Sessions In Folder

• Press m on any session to open an intro modal explaining scope
• Updates session.directory for every session pointing to the source folder, in a single SQLite transaction with automatic backup
• Target folder does not need to be registered in OpenCode
• session.project_id is left unchanged

Migrate Sessions

• Press x on any session to open an intro modal explaining scope
• Picks 5 most recent sessions from the source directory and moves them to a target folder that must be registered in OpenCode
• Updates both session.directory and session.project_id

Core Engine

• SQLite layer: list/find/get/update sessions, projects, and messages
• Phase 1 matching algorithm (adapted from bbl21's Python implementation)
• Manual path remap with preview
• Auto-backup (<dbpath>.opencode-sm-backup) before any write operation
• Transactional writes and error-safe rollback

Install & Uninstall

• Cross-platform install scripts (bash + PowerShell)
• Self-uninstall via opencode-sm uninstall subcommand
• Shell completions for bash, zsh, fish, powershell
• GitHub Actions CI matrix across Ubuntu, macOS, Windows

Usage

opencode-sm                             # Launch TUI with default DB path
opencode-sm --db-path /path/to/db       # Use a specific opencode.db
opencode-sm --version                   # Print version and exit
opencode-sm --help                      # Print help

opencode-sm uninstall --dry-run    # Preview files to remove
opencode-sm uninstall --prefix ~/.local/bin  # Custom prefix
opencode-sm uninstall --purge      # Remove config and data too
