    The terminal that outlives its window. Shells survive quitting the app, agents can drive other agents, and remote machines work the same way. Pure Rust, GPU-rendered.

    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a GPU-accelerated terminal workbench with persistent sessions, remote SSH, and AI coding agents in pure Rust.
    • Delivers high performance with ~2× throughput of popular terminals and persistent agent-aware sessions without tmux.
    • Use for maintaining long-running shell sessions and agent tasks that survive reboots and client disconnects.
    • Use for remote development workflows with native SSH, file management, and git integration on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
    • Use for integrating AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex directly into terminal panes with status and notifications.
