## What it is
A Neovim plugin written in Lua that automatically saves and restores editor sessions per working directory. It supports session pickers (Telescope, Snacks, Fzf-Lua), per-git-branch sessions, cwd change tracking, and customizable hooks.

## Use cases
- automatically reopen files and windows in neovim
- save and restore neovim sessions per project directory
- keep separate neovim sessions per git branch
- switch between saved neovim sessions with a picker
- resume my last editing session when opening nvim

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want automatic, zero-config session persistence
- you want sessions scoped to working directories or git branches
- you need a session picker integrated with Telescope, Snacks, or Fzf-Lua

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Neovim
- you prefer fully manual session management with :mksession
- you need session persistence across different editors
