Slides in from either edge
Left by default, or right. The panel animates in and out, with the two corners away from the edge rounded.

What it looks like.
Real captures of the 0.1.0 build, with nothing retouched. Version 0.1.1 added the glass look shown nowhere here yet.
AreaCapabilityWhat it doesSince
The panel
A full-height panel on the edge of the screen.
Adjustable width
From 420 to 1400 points, set in Settings, and never wider than the screen it opens on.
0.1.0Opens where you are
It appears on the screen the pointer is on, and takes the full usable height of that screen.
0.1.0Hides without ending anything
Every session keeps running while the panel is away.
0.1.0Gives focus back
The app you were using before the panel appeared is brought forward again when it hides.
0.1.0Calling it
Ways in, and ways out.
Trackpad edge swipe
Two fingers landing together, one in the outer tenth of the trackpad, both travelling inward. Since 0.1.1 it needs a quick swipe of a quarter of the pad, ignores touches while you type, and a third finger cancels it. Uses an undocumented Apple framework.
0.1.0Scroll-at-edge fallback
A two-finger horizontal scroll with the pointer resting at the screen edge, for when the trackpad framework is unavailable.
0.1.0Global shortcut
Toggles the panel from any app. Control and the grave-accent key at first; since 0.1.1 Control-Option-Space by default.
0.1.0Recordable shortcut
Record any combination with Control, Option or Command in Settings. It says so when another app already owns it, and keeps the old one working.
0.1.1Menu-bar icon
Toggle Panel, Settings, the update check and Quit, with no Dock icon.
0.1.0Swipe back to dismiss
A clear two-finger swipe toward the edge, over the panel, sends it away.
0.1.0Click outside to dismiss
Clicking in another app hides the panel. A setting turns it off.
0.1.0Terminals
Real shells, not an imitation of one.
A real pseudo-terminal
Each session is a shell on a PTY, started as a login and interactive shell so your PATH and dotfiles apply.
0.1.0Colour
256 colours and true colour, with the TERM and COLORTERM variables set to match.
0.1.0Font and size
Any installed monospaced font by name, from 9 to 28 points, applied to every open session at once.
0.1.0Working directory
A folder new sessions start in. Home when unset.
0.1.0Titles from the program
A tab is named by the title the running program sets, and falls back to the harness name.
0.1.0Restart or close on exit
When a session’s program ends, the pane says so and offers Restart or Close.
0.1.0A folder for each session
Starting a session from the + menu or ⌘T asks which folder to use, beginning at the last one. Tabs carry the folder’s name. Can be turned off.
0.1.1Tells you when it needs you
A dot on the menu-bar icon and the tab, and a macOS notification, when a session you are not looking at rings the bell, goes quiet after real work, or ends.
0.1.1Asks before ending work
Closing a session, quitting, or installing an update asks first when a program is still running.
0.1.1Harnesses and layout
What runs in the sessions, and how they are arranged.
Built-in harnesses
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and a plain shell. Claude Code, Codex and the shell are on by default.
0.1.0Your own commands
Add any command with a name, for example an agent you run from the shell, and it joins the new-session menu.
0.1.0Sessions at first open
Choose which harnesses open on their own the first time the panel appears, when there is nothing saved to bring back.
0.1.0Three layouts
Tabs, side by side, or stacked, switched in Settings without losing a session.
0.1.0Drag to rearrange
Drag a tab or a pane title onto another terminal to put it beside it, below it, or in its place. A highlight shows where it will land.
0.1.1Resizable panes
Drag the divider between two panes. Sizes are kept, and a pane cannot be made smaller than a usable size.
0.1.1Comes back as you left it
The kinds of terminal, their folders, their arrangement and sizes are saved and restored on the next launch. The programs start fresh.
0.1.1Session shortcuts
⌘T opens another, ⌘W closes the current one, ⌘1 to ⌘9 switch between them.
0.1.0Look and system
Appearance, and how it behaves as a menu-bar app.
System, light or dark
Follows the system appearance, or forces either. The terminal palette follows, and every open session is recoloured live.
0.1.0A menu-bar app
No Dock icon. It can open at login.
0.1.0Self-updating
Checks for a newer version at most every six hours, verifies the checksum and the Developer ID signature, and swaps itself in. Can be turned off.
0.1.0Glass panel
The desktop behind the panel is blurred, and each terminal is a translucent rounded card with a gap of glass between cards.
0.1.1Opacity setting
From see-through to solid. Solid, or macOS’s Reduce Transparency, turns the blur off.
0.1.1Quit button
Settings has a Quit Slidecode button, which asks first if a program is running.
0.1.1Edge-conflict warning
Settings warns when the right edge is chosen while macOS’s Notification Center swipe is on, and offers the left edge or the Trackpad settings.
