Problem Statement

The session list in Claude Code Desktop is a single flat list, which becomes difficult to navigate when working across multiple projects concurrently. Finding the right session requires scrolling through an undifferentiated list, adding friction to context-switching.

I work across six repositories daily and often have multiple active sessions per project (feature implementation, debugging, infrastructure). There's no way to visually group or organize sessions by project.

Proposed Solution

Add the ability to organize sessions into folders or groups within the Claude Code Desktop sidebar. Any of the following would help:

  • Folders — let users manually group sessions into named folders
  • Auto-grouping by repo/directory — sessions automatically grouped by the project root they were started from
  • Collapsible sections — lightweight grouping with collapsible headers
  • Drag to reorder sessions - self explanatory
  • Pinning or favorites — ability to pin active sessions to the top

Alternative Solutions

I tried to be better about using Archive, but I've also gotten better at using Claude, which means way more actually active sessions at once, meaning there is no real workaround currently. I end up scrolling through the full session list and reading titles to find what I need, which gets slow with 10+ active sessions across multiple repos.
