Choose the Account in Add Terminal
Pick which saved account a new terminal runs on right in Add Terminal, with each account's 5-hour and weekly quota beside it. Choose Auto to let the pool decide, a specific account, or this computer's own login.
Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
With several Claude or Codex accounts saved, the account a new terminal starts on decides whose quota it burns, and that used to be settled somewhere else before you opened the terminal. Add Terminal now shows an Account picker whenever the launch uses Claude, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, OpenCode or Grok and you have saved accounts, including presets and custom commands it detects from their startup command. Every account shows its 5-hour and weekly usage, Refresh quota updates them, and an account you can't use right now says why: signed out, or a shared login already held by another live terminal.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Open Add Terminal
Pick an agent such as Claude or Codex, or a preset whose startup command runs one.
Open the Account picker
It lists Auto, each saved account and This Mac’s login, each with 5h and weekly quota bars.
Refresh if needed
Refresh quota re-checks usage. Unavailable accounts show the reason instead of failing at launch.
Add the terminal
The terminal starts on the account you picked, or on the one the pool chooses for Auto.

Why It Matters
The productivity impact of having ai productivity built into your workspace
Spend the Right Quota
You see each account's usage at the moment you choose, so a long run goes to the account with room.
Works for Presets Too
Custom commands and presets that start an agent get the same picker, detected from their startup command.
No Launch Surprises
A signed-out account or a shared login already in use is marked before you press Add Terminal.

Prompt History
Search prompts and sticky notes from Remote Control while away from the desktop. Switch between This project and All projects, filter prompts by agent or notes by source, copy entries, delete with Operator access, and sync local prompt history.
Resume UI
Read any past AI session before you resume it. Resume AI Sessions is a split view with a searchable list of every Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other agent session on the left and a live preview of the project, branch, tool calls and conversation on the right, with Resume, bypass permissions and an editable command one click away.
Combine Sessions
Merge several past AI sessions into one opening prompt, or hand a single session to a different agent. Tick sessions in Resume AI Sessions, see a token estimate of the context they add, and send the result to a new chat with any agent or preset or to a terminal that is already open.
AI Diff Review Panel
Track every file modification any AI agent makes — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Amp, custom — and review, accept, or revert their work per file from a dedicated panel with inline diff overlays in the editor.
