# DeepSky ✦
**Your command center for GitHub Copilot CLI.**
Stop juggling session IDs. DeepSky gives you a sleek desktop app to manage, search, and switch between all your Copilot CLI sessions — so you can focus on building, not bookkeeping.
---
## Why DeepSky?
Copilot CLI is powerful, but managing sessions is painful. You're copying UUIDs, grepping through directories, and losing track of what's running. DeepSky fixes all of that with a visual interface purpose-built for power users.
## ✨ Features
### Session Management
- **Visual sidebar** with all your sessions — active and historical — searchable by title, tags, or linked resources
- **Concurrent sessions** — keep multiple sessions alive in the background with smart eviction when you hit the limit
- **Session rename** — double-click any title to give it a meaningful name
- **Instant resume** — click to reopen any past session exactly where you left off
### Embedded Terminal
- Full-featured terminal with 10,000-line scrollback, link detection, and clipboard support
- Multi-tab interface — switch between sessions like browser tabs
- Seamless session switching without losing state
### Smart Search & Resources
- Find sessions by title, tags, PR numbers, work item IDs, or repo names
- **Resource panel** — every session shows its linked PRs, work items, repos, and wiki pages as clickable links
### Notifications
- Real-time alerts when tasks complete, sessions error out, or input is needed
- Badge counter, dropdown panel, toast popups, and native OS notifications
- Never miss a completed build or a session waiting for input again
### Custom Instructions
- Built-in viewer for your `copilot-instructions.md` with Markdown rendering, collapsible sections, and table of contents
- Import/export and merge instructions across projects
### Polish
- **Catppuccin themes** — Mocha (dark) and Latte (light), because aesthetics matter
- **Auto-updates** — new versions download and install in the background
