Simpleton v0.1.1 — First public alpha

⚡ Simpleton v0.1.1 — First public alpha

A fast, native macOS terminal built in Swift (AppKit + SwiftUI + SwiftTerm) — tabs, nested split
panes, first-class SSH, dockable panels, and an optional AI copilot, with no Electron weight.

⚠️ Alpha software. Expect rough edges and breaking changes. Session restore is temporarily
disabled while it is reworked.

Highlights

• 🖥️ SwiftTerm-based terminal with true-color, mouse reporting, and configurable scrollback
• 🗂️ Native window tabbing + arbitrarily nested split panes (split, directional focus, zoom)
• 🔐 SSH bookmarks with frecency, ~/.ssh/config import, keepalive, and auto-reconnect
• 🧭 Connection sidebar with live search — connects in the active tab
• 🤖 Optional per-tab AI copilot with a command classifier that gates destructive actions
• 🧩 Dockable panels: history, environment, processes, Docker, notes, SSH tunnels, and more
• ⚙️ Resizable, multi-section Preferences window
• 🧪 250+ headless checks via the no-Xcode CoreChecks runner, wired into CI

Install

   …or right-click the app → Open → Open.
