- For
- Developers who want shell workflows in one workspace
- Worth noticing
- Plugins declare filesystem, network, and shell permissions; the page says each runs in its own VM.
Field notes
The interface is presented as a native Windows or Linux app, with the same UI available in a browser at a local address while it runs. Project workspaces can be linked to a real folder and Git remote, and the page says they retain tasks, workflows, plugins, and documents. Custom commands, keymaps, and themes are configured in Lua; the page also lists a built-in editor with file search and live HTML/Markdown preview.
