I used tmux-resurrect + tmux-continuum for years. They “work,” but:
- Sessions sometimes vanish entirely
- With many sessions, everything stays loaded in RAM
So I built Lazy Tmux: https://lazy-tmux.xyz
It shows all sessions as a tree — like they already exist — but only actually loads them when you enter.
- Keep dozens of sessions without bloating memory
- Navigate large session hierarchies quickly
- Lazy-load panes, commands, shells and scrollback history
It’s early, and there are many open issues on GitHub. Feedback, ideas, or contributions are welcome: https://github.com/alchemmist/lazy-tmux
If you’ve ever wrestled with tmux session management, this might make your workflow a lot smoother.
