What's Wrong?

In a recent update, the dedicated Routines section has been removed from the Claude Code desktop app left sidebar.

Previously, scheduled routines appeared in their own labeled section in the sidebar, making it easy to find and interact with them while they were running. Now:

  1. Routine sessions are mixed into the regular sessions list with no label or section distinguishing them from manual sessions.
  2. Pinning a routine session does not work — it appears to accept the pin but the session does not show as pinned.
  3. When a routine is actively running and the user navigates away, there is no way to find it again quickly.

This is a significant regression for users who rely on scheduled routines for automated workflows. The ability to monitor and interact with running routines was a core feature.

What Should Happen?

Scheduled routine sessions should appear in their own dedicated Routines section in the left sidebar (as they did previously), separate from manual sessions. Pinning a session should persist visually. Users should be able to find and navigate to an actively running routine session easily.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set up one or more scheduled routines in Claude Code
  2. Wait for a routine to fire and begin running
  3. Observe: no dedicated Routines section appears in the left sidebar
  4. The routine session appears mixed into the regular sessions list
  5. Try to pin the running routine session
  6. Observe: pin appears to be applied but session does not show as pinned

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by reverting the change that removed the dedicated Routines section from the Claude Code desktop app left sidebar or by implementing a workaround to visually distinguish and prioritize routine sessions.

Guidance

  • Review the code changes made in the recent update to identify the specific modification that removed the Routines section and consider reverting it.
  • Implement a temporary workaround by adding a visual indicator or filter to distinguish routine sessions from manual sessions in the mixed list.
  • Investigate the pinning functionality to determine why the visual representation of a pinned routine session is not persisting.
  • Consider adding a "Running Routines" or "Active Sessions" section to the sidebar to quickly access running routine sessions.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without access to the Claude Code source code, but a potential solution might involve modifying the sidebar rendering logic to include a conditional section for routine sessions.

Notes

The exact fix will depend on the specifics of the Claude Code implementation and the changes made in the recent update. Without access to the codebase, it's challenging to provide a precise solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround to visually distinguish routine sessions and prioritize their display in the sidebar, as reverting the entire update may not be feasible or desirable. This approach allows for a targeted fix while maintaining other updates and improvements made in the recent version.
