QuickTTY normal window with tabs, a named workspace selector, and four split terminal panes showing shell status, release checks, logs, and coding-agent progress — **Tabs, splits, and named workspaces.** Arrange each project once. Background shells and long-running tasks stay live when you switch context.

Quake mode

Bring the same live sessions down from the top.

Use the global shortcut to show QuickTTY on the current display. Switch between normal and Quake mode without restarting a shell or rebuilding your split layout.

QuickTTY in Quake mode dropped down from the top of the screen with the existing tabs and split terminal sessions still running — **One window, two presentations.** Normal and Quake modes are mutually exclusive views of the same workspace.

Broadcast input

Run the same input across every pane in the tab.

Broadcast routes one keyboard event—or one confirmed paste—to every pane in the active tab. The orange tab indicator makes the active state clear.

Mouse, scroll, resize, and interface commands stay local. Broadcast turns off when you leave the tab or workspace.

QuickTTY workspace with four terminal panes and broadcast input active, shown by an orange indicator on the active Workspace tab — **Broadcast is visible while it is active.** Input reaches the current tab only.

Find work. Control focus. Follow progress.

Everything important stays within reach.

Command Palette

Press Cmd+Shift+P to search QuickTTY commands, workspaces, and tabs without leaving the keyboard.

Pane zoom

Press Cmd+Shift+X to let one pane fill the tab, then restore the unchanged split layout with the same shortcut.

Native search

Find text in the active terminal, move through matches, and see the current result count in a native overlay.

Private command notifications

Long background shell commands can report generic success or failure without exposing the command, path, title, or output.

Coding-agent progress

OSC 9;4 progress appears in tabs and workspaces, so you can see when an agent is working or waiting.

Built for coding agents

Give agent work a place, a signal, and a boundary.

QuickTTY separates visibility, continuity, and terminal access. Turn on only the layer your workflow needs.

Explore agent integrations

01 / Observe

Progress without output parsing

Standard OSC 9;4 state stays visible across tabs and workspaces. QuickTTY does not inspect prompts, titles, or terminal text to guess identity.

02 / Continue

Session continuity

An eligible native agent can relaunch by opaque session ID in its original pane. Unverified integrations fail closed to a fresh shell.

03 / Operate

Terminal control for Pi

One confirmed install adds the QuickTTY SKILL and launcher. Native permission then limits Pi to terminal tasks it creates in its own workspace.

QuickTTY for macOS

Keep every active task in view.

Native AppKit workspace. Full libghostty terminal engine.
