Keep every terminal straight

On device

Tabs that name themselves

Every tab says what it is working on. Name one yourself and it keeps that name.

On device

Tidy up in one click

A crowded window sorts itself into named groups.

Teach it your tools

Coding agents work out of the box. Anything else you run, you can teach it in a few lines of bash.

It tells you when you are needed

A tab waiting on an answer gets a badge and a notification. Click it and you are there.

On iPhone

Every session, in your pocket

The terminals your Mac has open, live on your phone: the same scrollback, the same colours, and a keyboard that can answer them.

On iPhone

Answer the one that is waiting

Tap a session and it is the real thing, still running on the Mac. Type into it from wherever you are and the Mac carries on.

On iPhone

A keyboard with the keys a terminal needs

Escape, control, tab and the arrows, above the keyboard where a thumb can reach them. Arrange the row however you like.

Mac, iPhone and iPad

Your hosts, from whichever device you have

Save a host once and it is on your Mac, your iPhone and your iPad. The hosts travel through your own iCloud; the keys sit in the keychain, which iCloud encrypts end to end. RSA, ECDSA and Ed25519, and 1Password can hold the key and do the signing itself.

On iPad

On iPad, the Mac's own layout

Not a stretched phone app: the sidebar, the groups, the splits and the context menus, because it is the same code the Mac runs.

Groups, like your browser has

Colored and named. Collapse the ones you are not in, drag tabs between them.

Three layouts, your call

Groups down the side, tabs across the top, or both.

Splits

Put two sessions side by side. Drag a tab onto the canvas to split with it, drag the divider to resize.

The things a terminal owes you

Search the scrollback. Click a link to open it. Zoom. A scrollbar if you want one.

Picks up where you left off

Your tabs come back after a restart. Save a window you like and reopen it whenever.

Yours to look at

Themes that move the window and the text together. True black for OLED. Your font, your size.

A real terminal underneath

Built on Ghostty's core. Fast, true color, and everything you run behaves the way it should.
