Terminal & AI Agents

One-Click Agent Launchers on Empty Terminal Grid

Six quick-launch buttons — Claude, Codex, Gemini, Amp, OpenCode, bash — appear on any empty terminal grid, color-matched to their agent, plus a New Terminal button with the ⌘T shortcut and a one-click Settings shortcut into the Terminal Settings tab.

One-Click Agent Launchers on Empty Terminal Grid

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Starting a project used to require three steps before you saw any output: open the Add Terminal dialog, pick an agent, pick a shell. The empty terminal grid now shows six color-matched launch buttons and a ⌘T new-terminal shortcut. One click in, you're looking at a running agent instead of a dialog.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

Open a Terminal

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.
