Archived items New ​

By default, Splitkick archives a session or worktree when you close it. The Archived page lists everything you archived. Open it from Archived at the bottom of the sidebar's Projects tab. It opens in the main area, like Home.

One list, last archived first ​

Sessions and worktrees show in one list. The last archived item is at the top. Sections group the items by time: Today, Yesterday, This week, This month and Older.

Each row shows:

  • the name, and project › worktree
  • the backend and the number of messages (for a session)
  • the last prompt
  • why the item was archived: PR merged, folder missing, or closed with the base session
  • when it was archived, as time ago with the full date after it, for example "2h ago (Nov 6, 2026, 03:11 AM)"

The Archived page lists sessions and worktrees together, newest first, under Today, Yesterday and This week headings, with filters and a sort control above.

Sessions and worktrees in one list, last archived first. Each row shows project › worktree, backend, message count, the last prompt, the archive reason and the time.

How long archived items stay ​

On a new install, archived items stay for ever. To change this, use Auto-delete archives in Settings → General. Never (keep forever) keeps them.

Agents ​

Agents archive and restore through the MCP server: archive_session, unarchive_session, archive_worktree, unarchive_worktree and list_archived_worktrees. The server tells agents to ask you before they archive anything.
