# Sessions



Knosy keeps a card for each session it follows: which host it runs in, its scope, its folder or project, how long it's been going, and a short excerpt of the latest prompt so you can tell your sessions apart. The card is a status view, not a transcript: the conversation itself stays in the host.

## The four states [#the-four-states]

| State       | Meaning                                                  |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Working`   | The session is processing your prompt.                   |
| `Needs you` | The session is waiting on you: a permission, a question. |
| `Idle`      | The session is open with nothing running.                |
| `Done`      | The latest turn finished.                                |

`Needs you` outranks everything: when any session needs you, that's what the capsule shows. After it, `Working`, then `Idle`, then `Done`. Every state is expressed with a shape and a label, never with color alone.

## The capsule keeps count [#the-capsule-keeps-count]

Collapsed, the capsule shows the highest-priority state and, when you have more than one session, how many are running. Expand it to see the priority session in detail and the full list underneath.

## Done cards stay until you clear them [#done-cards-stay-until-you-clear-them]

A finished session keeps its card so you can still jump back to it. Dismiss the card when you're done with it: that only removes the card in Knosy and never touches the session in the host.

## Sessions live with the app [#sessions-live-with-the-app]

Session cards and prompt excerpts exist only while Knosy is running. Close Knosy and they're gone; your preferences and remembered scopes stay. One small thing does persist: which scope each known session uses, as identifiers only, so a conversation you resume later keeps its context.
