Mutagen Sync — VSCode Extension
Monitor and control Mutagen sync sessions directly from VSCode.
Features
- Status bar — shows session health at a glance; click to open the panel
- Explorer panel — all sessions with expandable details (endpoints, connection state, errors)
- Inline controls — Pause / Resume / Flush per session; trash icon to permanently terminate
- Bulk actions — Pause All / Resume All from the panel toolbar
- Auto-refresh — every 10 seconds (configurable)
- Hidden sessions — hide sessions from the main list without terminating them
Screenshots
You can hide some sessions - then mutagen-sync will watch only the needed ones (affect status bar colors and counts)
Statusbar shows all syncs on hover
You can disable some colors in the settings and more
