Everything you need in a terminal

A batteries-included terminal multiplexer that doesn't make you read a manual first.

Multi-Pane Layouts

Auto-grid, freeform drag-and-drop, or edge-snap tiling. Manage up to 9 terminals in a single window with one-key switching.

GPU-Accelerated

Powered by xterm.js with WebGL rendering. Smooth scrolling and fast output even with heavy log streams.

Built-in File Browser

Browse files without leaving the app. The file viewer tracks your terminal's working directory automatically.

16+ Built-in Themes

Dracula, Nord, Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, Synthwave 84, and more. Plus a full color editor for custom themes.

Smart Notifications

Notification sidebar, pulsing glow rings on unfocused panes, and a robot mascot that relays alerts. Native Windows desktop notifications with OSC 9/99/777 support.

Claude AI Integration

View installed plugins, MCP servers, and project memory. Shift+Enter support for Claude Code. Smart status detection for Claude prompts.

Interactive Robot Mascot

An animated companion that reacts to your terminal activity, gets bored when you're away, relays notifications, and has easter eggs. Drag it around. Hold it. Click it.

PowerShell Native

Auto-detects PowerShell 7 or Windows PowerShell. Every shortcut is rebindable. Ctrl+Alt Arrows for directional pane navigation.

16 Themes. Zero Config.

Switch themes instantly. Or build your own with the color editor.

Windows-Specific

Built for Windows from the ground up, not a port with rough edges.

PowerShell Detection

Automatically prefers PowerShell 7 (pwsh) over Windows PowerShell 5 over cmd.exe. Override with the PS_SHELL environment variable.

Shift+Enter

Native ConPTY-aware implementation for newline insertion. Works seamlessly with Claude Code and other modern CLI tools.

No Console Flash

Background commands (git, netstat, gh) run with hidden windows so nothing flashes in the taskbar.

Smart Notifications

Throttled native desktop notifications (5s cooldown) to prevent Windows taskbar flash spam. Focus-debounced to handle toast notification refocus.
