Auto-open last project on Desktop app startup #27316

Closed as not planned
Closed as not planned

Description

Feature Request

Description

Add an option to automatically reopen the last used project when OpenCode Desktop starts, instead of asking to select a project each time.

Use Case

When working on the same project daily, users have to manually select the project directory every time they open the app. This adds unnecessary friction to the workflow.

Proposed Solution

  • Add a setting in opencode.json or tui.json like "default_project": "/path/to/project" or "reopen_last_project": true
  • Remember the last opened project and offer to reopen it on startup
  • Add a checkbox "Remember this project" in the project selection dialog

Alternatives Considered

  • Shell aliases (works for CLI but not for Desktop app)
  • Desktop shortcuts (workaround, not integrated)
