Drag-and-Drop Paths Into Any Terminal
Drag files or folders from Finder, Explorer, or the File Tree onto any terminal to insert their path at the cursor. AI terminals get @mention syntax automatically; shell terminals get shell-escaped paths.
Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Typing or copy-pasting file paths into terminals is error-prone — spaces need quoting, deep paths need precision, and AI agents need @mention format. Dragging a file you can already see eliminates the context switch and the quoting mistakes.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Open a Terminal
Click "+" to create a new terminal tab. Choose from Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Amp, bash, zsh, or custom shells.
Arrange Your Layout
Switch between grid, columns, or fullscreen with one click. Drag dividers to resize panes to your preference.
Run Your Agents
Start your AI agents with pre-configured prompts or type freely. Watch them work in real-time with status indicators.
Monitor & Manage
Use the Terminal Dashboard for a bird's-eye view. Sessions persist across restarts so you never lose context.

Why It Matters
The productivity impact of having terminal & ai agents built into your workspace
Zero Context Switching
All your AI agents and terminals live in one window. No more alt-tabbing between 5 different terminal apps.
Visual Status Tracking
Color-coded tabs and the Kanban dashboard tell you which agents are done, running, or need attention — at a glance.
Persistent Sessions
Tmux-backed persistence means your terminal state survives crashes and restarts. Never lose scrollback history again.
Flexible Arrangements
One-click layouts adapt to your task: grid for monitoring, columns for comparing, fullscreen for deep focus.
