Saved
Keep bookmarks for important moments and snapshots of workspace layouts you want to reopen later.
The Saved tool keeps two kinds of reusable context in one place:
- Bookmarks save a message, command, code line, or pane you want to revisit.
- Workspaces are named snapshots of a workspace's panes and tiled layout.
Open Saved from the bookmark (ribbon) icon in the sidebar. Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+B opens its
Bookmarks tab, while Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Y opens Workspaces.
Bookmarks
Long agent sessions produce a few moments worth keeping: the explanation that finally made sense, the failing test output, the line of code to revisit. A bookmark keeps that moment from scrolling away.
What you can bookmark
- Agent blocks — any message, tool call, or result in a conversation
- Terminal blocks — a command and its full output
- Code lines — specific lines in a code view
- Panes — an entire session worth returning to
Each agent and terminal block has a bookmark icon in its meta row (next to Copy); code views have a bookmark action per line; and a pane's bookmark button lives in its header. Click it to save. For a code line, a colored dot appears in the gutter; for blocks and panes, the bookmark icon fills in and takes on the color you assign.
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Open Saved — Bookmarks | Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+B |
| Open Saved — Workspaces | Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Y |
| Bookmark the focused pane | Alt+Shift+B |
Colors and notes
Right-click the bookmark button to open its popover, where you can pick a color and add a note — "baseline before refactor", "flaky test evidence", "good prompt". The palette is a fixed set: Default, Red, Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple.
Colors are labels: use one color per investigation, per topic, whatever fits.
Bookmark triage
The Bookmarks tab is a lightweight triage queue with three status views, each showing a count:
| Tab | Holds |
|---|---|
| Open | Active saved items |
| Archived | Items you've set aside |
| Completed | Items you've marked done |
Each row shows its source, title, preview, and note. Per-row actions let you Mark complete, Archive, or Remove from Saved. Search across all items with the box at the top (it matches titles, content, and notes). Click any item to jump back to its source — the pane reopens if it was closed.
Workspace snapshots
A saved workspace is a point-in-time snapshot of a workspace's panes and their tiled arrangement. It is separate from the live workspace state that hob saves automatically. Use snapshots for layouts you want to return to after closing or rearranging the original workspace.
To create one, open a workspace tab's menu and choose Save workspace, or use the same action from the workspace's row in Home. Give the snapshot a unique name and, optionally, a note and folder. If the workspace was opened from a saved snapshot, the action changes to Edit saved workspace.
Open Saved's Workspaces tab with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Y. Each row shows the snapshot name,
pane count, last-updated time, and note. Click a row—or choose Open saved workspace from
its menu—to recreate the saved layout. If the snapshot is already open but its live layout
has changed, hob can restore the saved arrangement in place.
A pane can belong to only one live workspace. If panes from the snapshot are currently open elsewhere, hob shows which panes will move before restoring the layout. It also warns before closing panes added after the snapshot. Missing file, web, and terminal panes can be recreated; a missing agent conversation cannot be rebuilt, so its slot opens empty.
Use Edit to change a saved workspace's name, note, or folder. Move to Trash removes it from Saved without immediately deleting it permanently.
Organizing Saved
Bookmarks and workspace snapshots have separate searches and folder trees. Right-click empty list space to create a folder, then drag items into it or use multi-select and Move to folder. Folders can be nested, renamed, or dissolved back into their parent. Search matches bookmark content and notes, or saved-workspace names, notes, folders, and captured pane metadata.
