Description
Our team works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini all day. We love Ghostty, but wanted something where we could work in multiple worktree at once and have multiple agents run.We decided to open source the internal team we use. Hope you might find it useful. Freel free to contribute or fork. * Cross-platform (Mac, Linux, Windows) all tested * MIT License Features: * Notifications, but also manual 'mark-as-unread) for worktrees (like Gmail stars) * Status indicators work for all terminals inside a wroktree * GH integrations (show PR status) and link GH issues * Can add comments to worktrees (stay organized) * File viewer, Search, diff viewer (can make edits + save)Note: Yeah there are "similar" programs out there, but this one is ours. But I'm happy if our software works for you too!

Could you build this?
Partial Creating a GUI shell wrapper for multiple terminal windows is vibe-codeable, but orchestrating multiple concurrent git worktrees, handling terminal PTY emulation, and integrating active agent sessions across platforms is complex.
What it would actually take: The implementation relies on Rust or Go with low-level pseudo-terminal (PTY) libraries (e.g., portable-pty), cross-platform desktop UI frameworks (like Tauri, GPUI, or Wails), and rigorous git worktree management. The hard parts involve handling race conditions between multiple concurrent LLM coding agents running git commands simultaneously, stream multiplexing, and robust POSIX/Windows terminal signal emulation.
Discussion
10 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: xterm, ghostty-web, cmux
Concerns raised: ghostty-web has open issues and stale releases (last in Dec), missing LICENSE file in repo, cmux pane behavior issues, cmux Mac-only, not Linux
Feature requests: official libghostty for web, top-level tabs outside panes, GitHub integration (PR linking, status, issues)
