Guided Startup Commands
Build custom terminal and AI-agent startup commands with a guided form that fills in the name, run mode, and agent detection as you type — so a new launcher is a paste away instead of a memorized incantation.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Adding a startup command used to mean naming it yourself, remembering to mark it as an AI agent, and getting a long chain of flags exactly right. The guided Manage Startup Commands form does that reading for you: paste `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --model claude-opus-4-8` and it fills the Name "Claude Opus 4.8 Full", flips Run mode to AI agent, and shows a "Claude detected" chip. Known AI CLIs, package scripts, Docker Compose, and package-runner commands all get readable names automatically, with a manual AI agent / Normal switch for wrappers and custom launchers — and you can add one from an empty workspace before your first terminal even exists.
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.
