Session Management

AiderDesk's session management allows you to save and restore your work, ensuring you never lose context when switching between tasks or projects. A session includes the complete chat history and the list of files in the context.

AiderDesk automatically saves your current session in the background. If you close and reopen the application, you can choose to "Load last session" on startup to resume exactly where you left off.
