Your shell,
minus the bulk.

Deliberately narrow

Everything needed.
Nothing to manage.

01

A real terminal

PTY-backed bash with ANSI and VT parsing. Run the commands and interactive tools you already use.

02

Readable and responsive

Native text input and proper monospace rendering keep typing immediate and terminal output clear.

03

Built to disappear

A compact, resizable window that belongs in a screen corner and stays out of your workflow.

04

Open by default

Rust source, MIT license, automated checks, reproducible releases, and no analytics on this site.
