SeaShell 0.1.1

Terminal window manager for running several long-lived sessions — agents, dev
servers, plain shells — side by side, with a file explorer that knows what your
panes are talking about.

Downloads

File Platform Notes
SeaShell-0.1.1-universal.dmg macOS 11+ (Intel & Apple Silicon) unsigned — see below
SeaShell-0.1.1-windows-x64.zip Windows 10/11 x64 experimental — see below

No Linux build yet: the PTY layer needs a per-platform native module that cannot be
cross-built from macOS. It will come via CI.

Installing on macOS

The app is not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID, so Gatekeeper will refuse a
plain double-click the first time.

  1. Open the .dmg and drag SeaShell to Applications.
  2. Right-click → Open → Open the first time (or: System Settings → Privacy &
    Security → "Open Anyway").

Installing on Windows (experimental)

Unzip anywhere and run SeaShell.exe. SmartScreen will warn on an unsigned app —
"More info → Run anyway".

Honest status of the Windows port, so you know what you are testing:

  • Panes spawn PowerShell via ConPTY and terminal I/O works.
  • Process cleanup is weaker than on macOS. Closing a pane ends ordinary child
    processes, but a program that detaches can survive, and SeaShell cannot yet count
    or report that on Windows.
  • No per-pane memory/CPU metrics, and no live working-directory tracking yet.

What's new since 0.1.0

  • Panes glow for attention only after genuinely going still — no more constant glow
    or repeated pings from idle agents
  • Saved projects restore the program each pane was running, not just a bare shell
  • Selected file's full path shown in the explorer; double-clicking a revealed folder
    opens it
  • Chrome refined: consistent surfaces, fixed low-contrast text
  • PTY output loop no longer runs while idle
  • Platform layer factored; first Windows build

Known limitations

  • Unsigned builds (macOS and Windows) — expect the OS warnings above
  • No session persistence across app restarts (saved Projects are layouts, by design)
  • Windows: see "honest status" above
