Most terminals stop at tabs and windows. Toastty gives each project its own workspace: its own tabs, its own running shells, its own place to come back to. A sidebar lists your projects, a tab rail shows the current one, and panes split, drag, and snap into place. Built on Ghostty's engine, Toastty is a macOS development preview you build from source.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a custom multi-pane native macOS terminal workspace integrating Ghostty's low-level engine requires deep Swift/AppKit and terminal multiplexing knowledge beyond prompt-driven vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a Swift/AppKit or native Rust macOS desktop application embedding Ghostty (libghostty) via C/FFI. The developer must manage complex PTY allocations, terminal escape sequence parsing, state persistence across process restarts, and smooth split-pane window layout hierarchies.
