    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a cross-platform native terminal app optimized for managing coding agents with persistent sessions and project-based organization.
    • Enables sessions to outlive the app window by running in a daemon, preserving pane states and scrollback across restarts.
    • Use for running multiple AI coding agents or dev servers concurrently with clear status indicators and session grouping by project.
    • Use for remotely managing terminal sessions on various hosts including Linux, macOS, Windows, or WSL via SSH or Tailscale in one unified interface.
    • Use for automating terminal workflows through a CLI that can start sessions, split panes, send input, and read outputs programmatically.
