About the project

A local-first terminal desktop for terminal sessions and coding agents: it discovers agent sessions already on your machine, keeps them alive after you close the app, and lets you reach them from a browser. Native Rust rendering, PTY daemon, no inbound port.

Useful for

Discover and resume Claude Code, Codex CLI or Copilot CLI sessions already created on this machine
Keep long-running agent tasks alive after closing the terminal window and return to them later
Open an active agent session from a browser without exposing an inbound port
