Tmux Resurrect

tmux-resurrect is a tmux plugin that persists the entire tmux environment—open windows, pane layouts, running commands, working directories—so you can restore it exactly after a reboot or tmux restart. With simple keybindings (e.g. prefix + Ctrl-s to save, prefix + Ctrl-r to restore), it serializes state to text files under ~/.tmux/resurrect/ (or similar). When restoring, tmux-resurrect reopens windows, panes, and can reissue commands (for supported ones) so your session feels “never quit.” It optionally supports hooks to restore Vim/Neovim sessions or other running programs, though some commands or states may not fully recover in all cases. The plugin is widely appreciated as a productivity booster: you don’t have to manually recreate your tmux layout or sessions after a crash or reboot. Users should note that command restoration has limitations (some running processes cannot be resurrected fully) and configuration (restoration lists, hooks, process inclusion) may require tweaking.
