Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Aster combines terminal tabs, recursive splits, file previews, Agent sessions, and local command completion in a native AppKit workspace.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The workspace combines shell sessions with file previews and Agent sessions inside recursively split panes, rather than treating the terminal as a single window. Its page specifies full VT100/xterm and full-screen TUI support, .asterrecipe workspace files, 24 switchable themes, and 714 local command-completion specifications. The project is presented as MIT-licensed and claims zero data upload.
