Show HN: Saggar, a Mac terminal that keeps sessions and your attention organized

Hi HN, like many of you talented folk, I’ve been building more, faster than ever. I built Saggar after my terminal stopped feeling like a tool and started feeling like a tab-management problem. Let me know you think!

Looks cool, I'll give it a try

Before you try stuff like this, from an unknown developer, do you run the codebase through AI to scan for malware, backdoors, etc and build it yourself? I'm always skeptical about running stuff like this now a days.

1. Cannot create account because the CSP policy on the site blocks its own captcha. 2. The github repo URL is a 404, as is Releases and Issues links.

I was hoping this would satisfy a need so I didn't have to build a full tool myself. Kiln looks interesting, too.

i've noticed recently that some agentic TUIs have introduced a dashboard of sorts for different sessions that you access by just pressing left arrow. i wonder if they are trying to solve some of the problems mentioned by the author and whether that would ultimately be the best solution.

I created something similar, fully open source, using the ideas behind scrolling window managers. There's currently no website as I'm actively using it to work on a different project. It has features such as a shortcut (command+.) to open an overlay menu that allows you to switch to any split just by typing a letter and a number. Throughout the app. It also has optional vim bindings, support for different models and agents (e.g Claude, Codex, etc via ACP), and much more. There're bugs, but if you run into any, feel free to let AI create a PR. Goes without saying that it's vibe coded.

Apologies for that false start! Sign up should be working again.
