romty keeps terminal sessions alive after the window closes
A macOS and Linux terminal workspace manager for persistent shell sessions, project trees, terminal tabs, and scrollback.
Field notes
romty separates the terminal interface from the processes it displays: a daemon retains each shell PTY while the TUI is closed, then reconnects and replays missed output. Its workflow organizes project roots and direct children as a tree, with terminal tabs starting in their associated directories. The interface documents 10,000 lines of selectable scrollback and leaves mouse tracking off by default, preserving the host terminal’s normal drag-to-copy behavior. Installation is offered through Homebrew, Go, or a source build requiring Go 1.25 or later.
