Add /resume (session resume) to desktop app
Open 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 17, 2026 by sachah
Summary
The CLI supports resuming prior sessions via claude --resume / claude --continue / /resume, but the desktop app has no equivalent. There's no /resume slash command and no session picker UI.
Request
Bring session resume to the desktop app at parity with the CLI:
/resumeslash command, or- A session history picker (list prior sessions, select to resume with full context)
- Support for
--continueequivalent (resume most recent session in the current working directory)
Why
- CLI and desktop currently diverge on a core workflow feature.
- Users who switch between CLI and desktop lose the ability to pick up prior work when in the desktop app.
- Session history already appears to be saved — exposing it in the UI should be mostly a surfacing problem.
Environment
- Claude Code desktop app (latest)
