tty7

A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.

Why

A background server owns your shells and panes — not the window. Everything below follows from that.

Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
Persistent sessions — quit the app and your shells keep running; after a reboot, layout, screen, and supported agent conversations come back. No tmux
Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, and git context for every repo at once
Scriptable by agents — one agent opens a pane for another, hands off a task, waits, and reads the result, with or without the GUI running
Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search, with no plugin to install
Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine, over a native SSH stack

Install

Native builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux on Releases:


macOS	`…-macos-arm64.dmg` · `…-x86_64.dmg`	drag into Applications
Windows	`…-setup.exe` · portable `….zip`
Linux	`…-x86_64.AppImage`	`chmod +x` and run — X11/Wayland libraries bundled

What's inside


Agent-aware	per-pane detection (28 CLIs) · status dot · notifications · branch + diff · tray icon when input is needed · resume after reboot · reopen any past session from Search Everywhere · one-key launch · tab sidebar grouped by repository, with pinned groups
CLI + Skills	bundled `tty7` CLI · agent skill · `run` streams a command and exits with its code · `split` · `send` · `wait --until free` · `capture`
Editor-grade input	ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · ⌃ R fuzzy history
Window	tabs & splits · ⌘ P Search Everywhere · ⌘ F scrollback search · hibernate a tab to free its memory · IME
Side panel	⌘ J · process tree and listening ports · file tree · changes and diffs · find in files · GitHub issues and pull requests, read-only, signed in through `gh`
Shell integration	injected when a pane starts, nothing to install · prompt marks · working directory · exit codes · command-finished notifications · zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell, WSL, remote panes
Remote workspaces	remote files, repos, changes, diffs, worktrees, tabs, and panes · reconnect from any client and continue where you left off
SSH	native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets · SFTP panel · port forwarding · jump hosts · one-time, unprivileged `tty7-server` install

Supported agents

Detection is free: brand avatar, branch + diff, tab title. Status takes one click under Settings → Integrations to install that agent's hook, and brings the status dot, notifications, the tray icon, tty7 wait, and resume after a reboot. Fork needs both — the agent's own fork command, and the hook that tells tty7 which session to fork. Past sessions are read from the agent's own history files and listed in Search Everywhere, where ⏎ resumes one.

None of them are wrapped or proxied — the agent you start is the agent you get, in a normal PTY, with its own interface. An agent launched through a wrapper script can be mapped to one by name with agent_commands in config.json. Every agent on your PATH is also a row in Search Everywhere (Agent: Claude Code, …) that opens it in a new tab, and the New Tab menu names the ones you have actually run. agent_launch sets the command line it starts with.

Documentation

Full documentation lives in docs/ — keyboard shortcuts · config.json · CLI reference. The agent-facing CLI interface is also documented in skills/tty7/SKILL.md.

Install the skill with:

npx skills add l0ng-ai/tty7    # install
npx skills update tty7         # update later
