What you get

  • Your shell: a real login shell with your PATH, aliases and prompt.
  • Starts where you are: new tabs open in the folder you’re looking at.
  • Tab titles follow cd, so you can tell your tabs apart.
  • Up to 16 tabs, which you can drag to reorder.
  • Shells keep running when the drawer is hidden. Hide it, browse elsewhere, bring it back, and your build is still going.
  • Resizable: drag the top edge. The height is remembered.
  • GPU rendering, truecolor, clickable links, and colours that follow the app’s light or dark theme.
