A calm, fast macOS terminal designed for the agent era.

• Persistent sessions: Keep your shells, builds, and coding agents running even after closing the window. Reopen the app and resume exactly where you left off.

• Attention routing: Sessions requiring your attention are clearly marked in the sidebar using standard escape sequences, ensuring compatibility with any agent.

• Session sidebar: View all your open sessions in a single, organized vertical list, eliminating the need for tabs or complex pane management.

• Split sessions: Easily view two related sessions side-by-side with a simple, configurable setup.

• Terminal graphics: Render images and video inline with text, leveraging the Kitty graphics protocol.

• Mac-native, Metal-only: Enjoy a native macOS experience with real IME input, dead keys, emoji support, and drag-and-drop path functionality, all rendered with Metal for optimal performance.

• GPU-rendered: Built with Metal for a smooth and efficient graphical experience.

The philosophy behind Boring Terminal is to stay out of the way and provide clear indicators when something needs your attention. Every feature is designed to help users manage multiple agents and understand their status at a glance.
