tty7

A terminal workbench: shells, sessions, SSH, coding agents.

Why

Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume

Native builds for each platform 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 libs bundled


Input	ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · `⌃ R` fuzzy history
Window	tabs & splits · `⌘ P` palette · `⌘ F` scrollback search · nine themes · IME
Coding agents	per-pane agent detection (~17 CLIs): status dot, notifications, branch + diff, resume after reboot, tray icon that signals "needs your input"
SSH	native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets, SFTP panel, port forwarding, jump hosts

Details for every row: docs/features.md. Keybindings: ⌘ , opens Settings — browse and remap everything, tmux preset included (full list).

Same machine, same day, same 155×40 grid — Apple M1 Pro, macOS 26.3.1, five-run averages (2026-07-04):

	tty7	Alacritty	Ghostty	Kitty
Plaintext IO — 11 MB `cat` _{(lower = better)}	95 ms	239 ms	179 ms	185 ms
DOOM-fire frame rate _{(higher = better)}	888 fps	485 fps	552 fps	617 fps
Cold-launch memory	116 MB¹	105 MB	128 MB	130 MB

_{¹ GUI 105 MB + the persistent daemon 11 MB.}

Methodology and one-command reproduction: scripts/bench/.
