Closing a terminal kills your Claude Code session. MOTHER is a standalone terminal built for Claude Code, with one-click session resume as its core feature.
What it ships:
- Purpose-built terminal — not a plugin for iTerm or Warp; a dedicated terminal designed around Claude Code’s CLI workflow
- One-click session resume — click to restore a previous session without re-running

Claude Code’s native session resume works via --resume and --continue flags, but the workflow is friction-heavy. You need the session ID, or you’re scrolling through CLI history to find the right context window. MOTHER’s bet: surface sessions as a visual list, click one, and you’re back in the agent’s context.
NOTE
Claude Code’s --resume flag requires either a session ID or interactive selection from the terminal. MOTHER appears to wrap this into a UI layer — useful if you juggle multiple projects or long-running agent sessions.
The broader pattern: Claude Code’s ecosystem is accumulating custom UI layers. Standard terminals like iTerm, Warp, and Ghostty treat Claude Code as just another CLI process. MOTHER bets that Claude Code users want terminal features built around agent workflows — session history, context management, multi-session switching — rather than generic terminal chrome.
