As a heavy Claude Code (desktop) user I often run several long-lived sessions in parallel — e.g. one driving browser automation + GPU transcription pipelines, another doing backend work on the same repo, another for a different project.
Today, switching between conversations means navigating a flat sidebar/list. It gets painful when:
- You have 3+ active sessions and need to hop between them quickly while background tasks notify.
- Sessions belong to different mental "projects" (e.g. "content pipeline", "prod bugfixes", "experiments") but the UI shows them as one undifferentiated list.
- You want to keep a long-running session visible/pinned while working in another.
Suggestion: adopt the Chrome tab model:
- Tabs across the top for open sessions — click to switch, drag to reorder, middle-click to close.
- Tab groups (named + colored, collapsible) to cluster related sessions, exactly like Chrome's tab groups.
- Pinned tabs for always-on sessions.
- Optional: keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+1-9) matching browser muscle memory.
This would make multi-session workflows dramatically more navigable, and the interaction model is already familiar to every user.
