Sessions
Every Open Interpreter conversation is recorded locally so you can pick up
later. Sessions live under ~/.openinterpreter/ and stay on your machine.
Resume the last session
interpreter resume --lastYou land back in the same conversation with the same files in context.
Pick from a list
interpreter resumeA picker shows recent sessions in the current directory. Add --all to
see sessions from anywhere on your machine.
Fork a session
Forking branches a conversation into a new thread. The original stays intact. Useful when you want to try a different approach without losing the existing one.
interpreter fork --lastOr pick from the list:

Stop the daemon
Open Interpreter runs a small local daemon so multiple tabs share state efficiently. To stop it:
interpreter killAdd --force if you want it to exit immediately without cleanup.
