This looks really cool, especially on the remote control part. I've experienced exactly the same problem, but ended up building my own tool through an opposite architectural approach than Saggar. The main difference is that I want to keep my existing workflow in Kitty and tmux/zellij. Since all of them provide solid remote control protocol, I wrote captain-miao ( https://github.com/hyperlogue/captain-miao ) which is…

Looks great, well done! Kitty is great too, makes sense. I have purposefully kept things quite tight for my own sanity, but I think it makes sense market-share wise at the moment. At the moment I'm also assuming that if someone is using Cursor AI tooling/Grok, they're probably using Cursor IDE and terminals in there. I am planning on looking into integrating Pi.dev, which I love the philsophy of (though don't use per…

Just an anecdata: I really dislike the Cursor IDE's session/worktree handling, but my company only provide Cursor licences. So I'm using herdr, cursor cli ("agent"), a custom workflow skill that reads a manifest of the repos I work with + the setup commands they need.

I still get use out of Intel Macs too and wondered if there was some technical reason that made it harder to implement on other hardware.

Ah right! There's a bit of extra work, I was looking into it last week, I paused as I saw a lot of articles like this https://www.techradar.com/computing/mac-os/apple-quietly-kil... I'll look into it again!

Ah interesting! Thanks for sharing.

About your product, nothing to add abt it. It's an incredible idea! Everytime I use my terminal I usually get lost with the many windows I open and I'm pretty sure your platforms can solve this issue!

About your website I'd just suggest that the landing page animation could be something about how the terminal windows are scattered and then, when you gather them all in, let's say, a box it'll then show Saggar logo!

Looks nice. It didn't add fish shell, only zsh and rather difficult to get it to use it as default.

If I had had fish setup in the /etc/shells correctly, it probably would have used it but after the fact, I can get it to load but it doesn't stick.

The remote control appears to use a third party relay, and I don't see encryption mentioned.

I really want to use this, but I definitely don't trust a vibe coded relay to my shell.

As a herdr user, the disposable terminal made me drool. Nice work. Would need to be able to fully customize the colors/font/sizing to make this usable as a daily driver; I take it it's not open source, or I'd put up PR. Good luck with it; nice to see product thinking and sweating the details in dev tools.

usecase is I have a Mac laptop and a windows laptop because I need to support both platforms.

Ok, I don't support windows yet :/

I'm not asking for that, just illustrating a reason why some of us have might be looking for an app that supports a many:1 mapping.
