As you run more sessions, the sidebar can get busy. Termix gives you two ways to find what you need. The search bar at the top of the sidebar filters sessions as you type. It matches against:
  • Session name — The name you gave the session (or the auto-generated one)
  • Transcript content — Everything the agent has output during the session
This means you can search for a function name, error message, or file path and find the session where you worked on it — even if you didn’t name the session after it. Search updates instantly as you type. Clear the search to see all sessions again.

​
Tab Filtering

Below the search bar, two tabs filter the session list:
  • All — Shows every session
  • Unread — Shows only sessions with new output you haven’t looked at yet. A count badge shows how many unread sessions there are.

​
How Unread Works

A session is marked as unread (blue dot in the sidebar) when it produces new output while you’re looking at a different session. Clicking on the session marks it as read. This helps when you’re running multiple agents — you can quickly see which ones have produced new output since you last checked.

​
Transcript Store

Behind the scenes, Termix records a searchable transcript for every session:
  • User input is captured keystroke-by-keystroke and recorded when you press Enter
  • Agent output is batched (300ms debounce), stripped of ANSI formatting codes, and stored as plain text
  • Transcripts are saved as JSONL files in ~/.termix/transcripts/
The transcript powers sidebar search. It’s plain text only — no terminal formatting, colors, or control sequences. This makes search fast and results relevant.
Transcripts are stored locally on your machine. They’re used only for search functionality within Termix.
