Your command center for GitHub Copilot CLI.

Stop juggling session IDs. DeepSky gives you a sleek desktop app to manage, search, and switch between all your Copilot CLI sessions — so you can focus on building, not bookkeeping.

Why DeepSky?

Copilot CLI is powerful, but managing sessions is painful. You're copying UUIDs, grepping through directories, and losing track of what's running. DeepSky fixes all of that with a visual interface purpose-built for power users.

✨ Features

Session Management

  • Visual sidebar with all your sessions — active and historical — searchable by title, tags, or linked resources
  • Concurrent sessions — keep multiple sessions alive in the background with smart eviction when you hit the limit
  • Session rename — double-click any title to give it a meaningful name
  • Instant resume — click to reopen any past session exactly where you left off

Embedded Terminal

  • Full-featured terminal with 10,000-line scrollback, link detection, and clipboard support
  • Multi-tab interface — switch between sessions like browser tabs
  • Seamless session switching without losing state

Smart Search & Resources

  • Find sessions by title, tags, PR numbers, work item IDs, or repo names
  • Resource panel — every session shows its linked PRs, work items, repos, and wiki pages as clickable links

Notifications

  • Real-time alerts when tasks complete, sessions error out, or input is needed
  • Badge counter, dropdown panel, toast popups, and native OS notifications
  • Never miss a completed build or a session waiting for input again

Custom Instructions

  • Built-in viewer for your copilot-instructions.md with Markdown rendering, collapsible sections, and table of contents
  • Import/export and merge instructions across projects

Polish

  • Catppuccin themes — Mocha (dark) and Latte (light), because aesthetics matter
  • Keyboard-firstCtrl+N new session, Ctrl+Tab switch, Ctrl+W close, Esc dismiss
  • Auto-updates — new versions download and install in the background
