AvalonDock-powered docking with drag-and-drop tabs. Split, stack, and float terminal panes however you like.

ConPTY-based with VT100/ANSI support, alternate screen buffer, 10K-line scrollback, and Unicode block drawing.

⚙

Claude Code Awareness

Detects session status (idle, working, waiting for input), manages session names, and tracks per-project state automatically.

📁

Projects Panel

Groups terminal sessions by working directory. Attach images and files per project with drag-and-drop support.

Session Persistence

Saves and restores working directory, last command, and alternate screen state across restarts. Pick up where you left off.
