Start a session with an agent and pick a project

A session is one conversation with an agent in a project folder. Each lives as its own row in the sidebar.

Step by step

  1. Press ⌘N or click “New session” at the top of the sidebar.
  2. Type a name. The default is “Session N”.
  3. In the “Agent” row, pick Claude, Codex or another installed agent. “Custom command” starts any agent by its command, “Local model” opens your models.
  4. In the “Project” row, pick a project from Hedoq Space or “New project”.
  5. Optionally turn on “Separate copy of the project” or “Incognito”.
  6. Click “Create” or press Enter. The session starts right away.

Hedoq Space and sessions without a project

All projects live in the Hedoq Space folder in your home folder. “New project” creates a folder there named after the session. The “New session” window only offers projects from Hedoq Space.

Hedoq Space is yours: uninstalling Hedoq leaves it alone. You can move or rename it in Finder, and Hedoq will find it again.

What a sidebar row tells you

  • Yellow timer: the agent is working.
  • Green dot: a reply came in that you have not seen yet.
  • Orange icon: the turn ended with an error.
  • Blinking dot: voice is being recorded.
  • Dimmed row: the session is asleep, with no process. Your next message wakes it up.

Double-click a row to rename it. Right-click for a menu: “Rename”, “Icon…”, “Changes” (for a separate copy), “Close”. Drag rows to reorder them.

The “On hold” section

A session you have not touched for 10 minutes moves down to “On hold”. At least three always stay on top. When a session starts working or replies, it moves back up by itself. To move a row by hand, drag it onto the “On hold” header.

Closing

Click the cross on a row or press ⌘W. If the project folder has files, Hedoq asks: “Delete project” or “Keep project”. An empty folder in Hedoq Space is removed quietly.

Good to know

  • After you restart Hedoq, tabs come back on their own and the conversation continues where it left off. A reply that was streaming at that moment is cut off.
  • The folder button in the toolbar opens “Session folder”: “Show in Finder”, “Copy path”, “Change folder” (Claude chats only).
  • ⌘T opens a plain terminal.
