## What it is
A tmux plugin that saves and restores the entire tmux environment—sessions, windows, panes, layouts, working directories, and running programs—across system restarts. It requires no configuration and works via simple key bindings (prefix + Ctrl-s to save, prefix + Ctrl-r to restore).

## Use cases
- restore tmux sessions after reboot
- save terminal workspace before shutting down
- persist pane layouts and working directories
- restore running programs in tmux panes
- keep vim/neovim sessions across restarts
- avoid reconfiguring tmux after restart

## When to choose
- you live in tmux and restart your machine regularly
- you want zero-config session persistence
- you need exact pane layouts and program restoration
- you want optional vim/neovim session restore

## When to avoid
- you don't use tmux
- you need automatic continuous saving without a companion plugin (use tmux-continuum)
- you need cross-machine session sync
