Sessions

Session Drawer

Swipe from the left edge or tap the hamburger menu icon to open the session drawer. It shows all your chat sessions with:

• Session title
• Last activity timestamp
• Message count

On an unfolded foldable or other wide Chat layout, use Pin sessions sidebar in the drawer to keep Sessions visible beside the conversation. Use Unpin sessions sidebar to hide it; the hamburger menu then opens the drawer when needed. Compact layouts always use the drawer. Your pin choice is saved and takes effect again when the Chat layout becomes wide enough.

Creating a New Chat

Tap New Chat in the session drawer, or just start typing — a session is automatically created on your first message.

Switching Sessions

Tap any session in the drawer to switch to it. Message history loads from the server automatically.

Auto-Titles

Sessions are automatically titled from the first ~50 characters of your first message. You can rename them anytime.

Renaming

Tap the edit icon next to a session in the drawer. Enter a new title and tap Rename.

Deleting

Tap the delete icon next to a session. Confirm in the dialog. This permanently deletes the session and its message history on the server.

Archive and Bulk Cleanup

Newer Hermes servers expose two safer server-side cleanup primitives that Relay uses from the dashboard/Manage client layer:

• Export — GET /api/sessions/{id}/export returns one session's metadata and messages as server-owned JSON, which clients can offer as a save/share step before destructive cleanup.
• Archive / restore — a soft session state via PATCH /api/sessions/{id}. Archived sessions are hidden from the default drawer list but can be listed explicitly by clients that offer an archive view.
• Bulk cleanup — POST /api/sessions/prune. Destructive cleanup must run as a dry-run first, showing the matched session count plus oldest/newest matched timestamps before applying. If the server does not expose this route, bulk cleanup should fall back to explicit per-session deletes rather than guessing locally.

Session Persistence

Your last active session is saved and automatically resumed when you reopen the app.
