Recent Projects
Quickly reopen your last opened projects from the Tray Link popover.
Overview
The Recents section appears at the top of the project popover and shows up to 5 projects you opened most recently. It gives you one-click access to resume work without scrolling through the full list.
How Recents Are Updated
A project enters the recents list when you open it using any of these actions:
- Quick-action editor, terminal, or AI tool button
- Open with option from the context menu
- Recent bubble tap (reopens with the same tool logic)
tlink openfrom the CLI
Each open updates lastOpenedAt and records which tool was used (lastOpenedTool).
Bubble Appearance
Each recent project is shown as a circular bubble with the project name below it. The bubble reflects:
- Tag color — background and border use the project tag color (or default blue)
- Tool icon — when Show real app icons is enabled, the bubble shows the icon of the last-used tool; otherwise a generic editor, terminal, or AI icon is shown
Reopening a Recent Project
Tap a recent bubble to reopen the project. Tray Link uses the last opened tool for that project:
- If the last action was an editor, terminal, or AI tool, that same tool type is used again
- If no last-opened tool is recorded, the effective default editor is used
Collapsing the Section
Click the Recents section header to collapse or expand the horizontal scroll area. Collapsed state is remembered between popover sessions.
Settings
In Settings, toggle Show recent projects to hide or show the entire Recents section. When disabled, no recent bubbles appear regardless of open history.
