trm
See everything. Switch nothing.
Your editor, server, tests, and docs — all visible at once in a GPU-rendered grid. Stop alt-tabbing between terminals. Start seeing your entire project in one glance.
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
⎘
Editor, server, tests, logs, docs — no hidden tabs, no memorizing which window is where.
Every pane has a live AI summary. See what changed without switching focus. Your brain stays in flow.
Drop a trm.toml in your repo. Grid layout, pane commands, watermarks — your whole workspace boots in one command.
Everything You Need, Nothing Hidden
AI Command Palette
Ask AI to run commands, explain errors, or control your terminal. Built into the command palette with search and raw command modes.
Live AI Summaries
Each pane gets a live summary of its terminal output, updated automatically by the LLM. See at a glance what every pane is doing.
GPU Rendering
Ghostty's battle-tested Metal/OpenGL renderer with background images, custom shaders, and 120fps. Zero tearing, efficient redraw.
Multi-Pane Grid
Jagged grid layout where each row can have different column counts. Broadcast input, navigate with keyboard, jump with Cmd+1-9.
Pane Overlaying
Stack panes in layers — run a terminal over a web page, overlay notes on a log viewer. Toggle focus between foreground and background.
Plugin System
10 built-in plugin types with an extensible registry. Terminal, WebView, Notes, File Browser, Git Status, and more.
Smart Text Selection
Ctrl+click to select a URL or path in one click, even across wrapped lines. Ctrl+drag to extend across line breaks. No more broken selections.
Pane Watermarks
Tag each pane with a large faint label — environment names, server tags, or project identifiers. Set via config or dynamically via AI.
Text Tap API
Unix socket API for external control. Subscribe to output, send input, execute actions via JSON. Scriptable automation built in.
Claude Code Notifications
Native macOS notifications when Claude Code is waiting for input. Uses the Text Tap socket — no osascript needed. Drop-in hook script included.
Context Usage Tracking
Real-time Claude Code context window gauge with color-coded warnings. Track daily and weekly token usage with persistent history. Auto-compact alerts built in.
