The Problem Modern developers often work with multiple accounts, different projects, and various configurations. But managing session data for apps like VS Code, Cursor, or Windsurf can be tedious:
- Manual backup-restore is time-consuming and error-prone
- Switching between accounts requires repeated logout-login cycles
- Experimenting with settings risks breaking perfectly tuned configurations
- Authentication data often conflicts when not handled properly
The Solution SurfManager was born from personal developer frustration needing an elegant solution to this problem. What started as a simple script for backing up VS Code settings evolved into a comprehensive session manager that:
- Automates repetitive tasks - No more manual backup-restore
- Prevents data loss - Smart app close and auto-backup protection
- Streamlines workflow - Switch profiles in seconds, not minutes
- Handles edge cases - File locks, process conflicts, permission issues
The Evolution From a simple CLI script to a full-featured GUI application with:
- Advanced process management (ProcessKiller)
- Real-time progress tracking
- Filesystem-based storage (reliable)
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Developer-friendly UX

Step 1: Setup First Account
- Login to your IDE - Use your first account in VS Code/Cursor/etc.
- Configure your workspace - Install extensions, set preferences, login to services
- Create backup - In SurfManager, click an app → enter session name (e.g., "work-account")
- Done! Your complete session is saved
Step 2: Add More Accounts
- Reset the app - Use SurfManager's Reset Data tab to clear current session
- Login with new account - Use different credentials in your IDE
- Configure new environment - Set up workspace for this account
- Save new session - Create another backup (e.g., "personal-account")
Step 3: Switch Between Accounts
- Browse sessions - View all saved sessions in the Sessions tab
- Double-click to restore - Or right-click → "Load"
- Launch your IDE - You're logged in with that account! 🎉
Sessions Tab:
- App buttons - Click to create new backup
- Sessions table - View all saved sessions
- Right-click menu - Quick actions (Load, Update, Set Active, Rename, Browse, Delete)
- Auto-Backups toggle - Switch between manual sessions and auto-backups
- Search bar - Filter sessions by name
Reset Data Tab:
- Reset button - Clear app data (with auto-backup option)
- AutoBackup toggle - Enable/disable automatic backup before reset
- Launch button - Open app folder or executable
- Right-click sessions for quick actions menu
- Double-click sessions to restore instantly
- Toggle Auto-Backups to view automatic backups separately
- Use descriptive names like "work-main", "personal-dev", etc.
- Enable AutoBackup before reset operations for safety
Windows User Isolation Sessions are tied to the Windows user account that created them. You cannot transfer backups between different Windows users.
Why this exists:
- Windows encrypts app credentials with user-specific keys
- Authentication tokens (like DIPS files) are encrypted per Windows user
- Cross-user session restoration would fail authentication
What this means:
- ✅ Switch between accounts on the same Windows user
- ❌ Copy backups to another Windows user account
- ✅ Each Windows user must create their own session backups
🐛 Fixed Issues
- Backup Path Structure - Fixed incorrect backup directory naming (SurfManagerBackups → Documents/SurfManager)
- Auto-Backup Display - Fixed auto-backup toggle button not showing backups
- Reset Tab Sync - Fixed app list not syncing with App Configuration changes
- Session Scanning - Skip internal folders when listing backups
