Highlights

• Agent-native terminal — a launcher for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Amp, Aider, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and any shell, with full TUI support (vim, htop, tmux just work)
• Diff-first — agents edit under you, you get side-by-side diffs, never a silent reload; a git-backed Changes panel groups everything touched
• Multi-project, multi-component — label your directories (frontend, backend, …) and give each its run commands in the RUNS rail
• Session awareness — every agent session across the project: branch, task, CPU/memory, ports; sessions survive crashes with one-click restore
• Native Git — staging, stash, branches, worktrees, history and PRs, one rail from the terminal
• Light — Rust core, no Electron, no extension host; ~5% CPU, ~120 MB with agents running

Good to know

• The macOS builds are signed and notarized. The .dmg and .AppImage auto-update in-app; .deb/.rpm update through your package manager.
• The .sig, .app.tar.gz and latest.json assets are the auto-updater's plumbing — the app downloads them itself.
• MIT licensed. Issues, PRs and strong opinions welcome: CONTRIBUTING.md
