Core Features

One interface combining terminal, file browser, Git, and AI Agent — built for developers managing multiple projects.

Multi-Workspace Management

Organize projects with drag-and-drop, group filtering, custom env vars. Detachable windows auto-reattach on restart. Save and switch between workspace configurations.

Integrated Terminal

Multiple terminals per workspace with Google Meet-style 70/30 layout. Pre-configured roles for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, GitHub Copilot, or plain terminals.

Claude Agent SDK Integration

Run AI agents directly in-app via built-in Claude Agent SDK. Stream messaging, permission-based tool approval, session persistence & forking, subagent tracking, real-time usage & cost monitoring.

File Browser & Git Integration

Built-in file search with syntax-highlighted previews. Git commit log, diff viewer, branch display, and untracked file list — all in one tab.

Snippet Manager

SQLite-backed code snippet storage with categories, favorites, and search. Keep your frequently used code at your fingertips.

Remote Access

Experimental WebSocket remote control with QR code connection and Tailscale integration for secure cross-network access without port forwarding.
