neovim-session-manager
A Neovim plugin that manages sessions using built-in :mksession, similar to VS Code's folder-based workspace persistence.
What is neovim-session-manager?
Neovim Session Manager is a Lua plugin for Neovim that provides persistent session management using the editor's built-in `:mksession` functionality. It solves the problem of losing your editor state between sessions by automatically saving and restoring window layouts, open files, and working directories per project folder.
Neovim users who work across multiple projects and want persistent, folder-based session management similar to modern IDEs, without leaving the terminal editor workflow.
Developers choose this plugin because it builds directly on Neovim's native capabilities, avoiding bloat while providing reliable session persistence, Git-aware session loading, and seamless integration with popular Neovim pickers through a simple, configurable Lua API.
Overview
A simple wrapper around :mksession.

Best For
