Features

Built different

GPU-Accelerated Rendering

Metal-powered rendering at 120fps with glyph atlas caching, triple-buffering, and ligature support.

Smart Output Folding

AI responses automatically fold into collapsible, labeled sections — tool calls, diffs, thinking, and more.

AI Components

Auto-detect your project stack and inject skills, rules, prompts, and hooks from git, localskills, or local registries. Visual mapping editor, security rules editor, colored status dots with legend, and import/export built in.

Mission Control

Dashboard showing all active AI agents across tabs and windows. Real-time status, total spend, tokens, and per-agent kill switches.

Session Recording

Record AI coding sessions and export as GIF with idle compression. Stop recording and save directly from the status bar.

AI Side Panel

Live token tracking, cost estimation, file references, git changes tree, and activity stats in one panel.

LLM Profiles

Switch between Claude, Gemini, Codex, or plain Shell. Create custom profiles with per-model config.

Per-Tab Token Tracking

Each tab independently tracks token usage and cost. Feeds into the side panel and Mission Control for full spend visibility.

Voice & Screenshot Input

Push-to-talk voice input with on-device transcription. Screenshot-to-session captures a region and pastes the path.

Multi-Window & Tabs

Multiple independent windows with Cmd+N. Tab groups with collapse/expand and vertical sidebar layout. Drag tabs between windows or tear off entire groups.

Git Integration

Live git status in the status bar and side panel. Per-tab worktree isolation for parallel workstreams.

Syntax Highlighting

Code blocks get language-aware syntax highlighting with diff rendering and one-click copy.

Quick Terminal

Quake-style dropdown terminal with a global hotkey. Available instantly, from anywhere on your Mac.

Fully Themeable

Customize colors, fonts, keybindings, and ANSI palette. Everything lives in a single config file.

Find & Notifications

Search terminal output with real-time highlighting, plus desktop alerts when long-running tasks finish.

Command Palette

Cmd+Shift+P opens a fuzzy-searchable palette for every action. Copy as Markdown preserves code fences and formatting.

Smart Autocomplete

File path and command history completions as you type, with a popup menu and keyboard navigation.

Remote Control

Auto-detect Claude Code remote control, scan a QR code to connect from your phone, and manage sessions from the menu.
