Session persistence
Last updated: 29 May 2026
What it does
StreamView auto-saves your session every 30 seconds and when the app closes, then restores it on the next launch. It remembers:
- open terminals and their positions
- workspace configurations
- layout preferences
- window size and position
How to use it
Two settings under Settings > General > Startup control restore behavior:
- Restore on launch — restores workspaces and stream layout from the last session.
- Auto-start streams on restore — when on, terminal processes start automatically; when off, only the layout is restored and you press play to start each stream individually.
Troubleshooting
- Streams restore but aren't running — that's "Auto-start on restore" being off; turn it on, or press play per stream.
- Nothing restores — make sure "Restore on launch" is enabled.
