Show HN: Pouch – a session-first GNU Screen manager with a focused terminal UI

I made Pouch because I still use GNU Screen, but managing sessions gets awkward fast. The main pain point was that Screen works, but the workflow is too manual. You end up remembering session names, checking what is running, and handling attach/restart/stop flows with more friction than necessary. Pouch is a small session-first UI on top of Screen. It shows sessions immediately, lets you create and attach quickly, keeps external Screen sessions visible, and adds safer restart/stop flows plus a doctor command for environment issues. I built it because I wanted Screen to feel easier to operate without replacing it.
