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 used those dashboards extensively, they are useful! But found that they put visibility at the wrong level. I wanted a view across all my terminals, regardless of which agent or provider they’re running, including terminals where I’m working manually.

Nice design, I look forward to trying it out when I get back to the computer. I don't like kicking off some web server process on localhost and then forgetting about it if I close the browser window.

Any special reason it's Apple silicon only? This seems like something that'd be handy to have on any machine.

Thank you! If there's interest I could look into other OS', I don't rate electron apps and I'd want to do that natively. Plus, I'm personally a Mac user haha.

agreed, that load bearing colon is doing a lot of work there.

I will admit I've been more focused on the app itself!

Claude's RLHF has gone really over the top in recent versions. If you browbeat Claude enough you can get it to start self-censoring, but it takes a lot of training and memory creation. I almost feel bad for it, given the amount of brow-beatings I've performed.

Some people claim setting the writing style will help, but what ever finishing training is provided to Claude seems to leak through no matter what.

> Requires macOS 26 Tahoe or later Why? Tahoe hasn’t even reached its first birthday and plenty of us are still on Seqouia not wanting to put up with apple’s disaster release. There’s nothing a terminal needs from Tahoe specifically.

Not a purposeful exclusion, macOS 26 simply the lowest version I currently build and test against.

It's a great call out, I'll take a look at that shortly.

I really like the aesthetics and the design, though I wish it was open source and did not require an account.

Oh, you don't NEED an account dw. There's only a few features that need it (e.g. remote control).

I open source a lot of projects (https://github.com/mcclowes) so my first instinct was to, and I'll consider that in the future!
