Statusline: a drawing board for your terminal’s last line

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source visual builder for designing terminal status bars that render across Claude Code, tmux, and a browser preview.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The interface models a status bar as a layout solver rather than a static strip: each tile has a priority, borders consume columns, and width breakpoints determine what remains visible. The page shows six breakpoints, compact mode below 80 columns, and a monotonic-width guarantee in which narrower terminals never retain more tiles. It also documents target differences, including tmux command dispatch, Claude Code OSC 8 links, and browser DOM events.
