Sessions need a paid plan. There is no session on the free allowance. See Plans. session opens a separate harness session in your current workspace where every turn runs through Nito. Your ordinary session is untouched.

​
Run It

A new terminal opens with your workspace loaded. Work in it as you normally would. The model picker, agents, and tools all work, running against the Nito catalog. Without --model it uses your saved default.

​
What It Keeps, and Why

A session keeps your prompt history, transcripts, and project state on your machine. That is the point of it. A session is meant to be lived in across many turns and returned to later, which is impossible without a record. So a session gives you routing privacy, not local privacy:
  • Your harness provider never sees the work. Every turn goes to Nito, at the privacy level of the model running it.
  • Your machine keeps the record. History and transcripts go to a dedicated Nito profile directory at ~/.nito/hosts/<host>/<profile>/, separate from your harness’s own configuration. The directory is restricted to your user account, and Nito does not encrypt what is inside it. Deleting it removes the record. See Uninstall.
That trade is deliberate, and it is the whole difference from private. Reach for private when a turn should leave nothing behind. Reach for session when you want to keep the work.
