A cross-platform tray / menu bar status item: the icon flips to an attention state when any coding agent blocks on input, and its menu lists agent panes (brand avatar + status dot, click to reveal), switches the notification policy, forces an update check, and offers Quit and Stop Daemon alongside the session-keeping plain quit. macOS/Windows use tray-icon (muda menus, main-thread NSStatusItem); Linux deliberately uses ksni (pure-Rust SNI over zbus) instead of tray-icon's GTK+libappindicator backend so the AppImage stays lean, with a slow-backoff retry for SNI hosts that appear after login. Bitmaps are rasterized at runtime with resvg (already in the tree). Gated by show_tray_icon (default on) with a Settings toggle; the 1s foreground poll re-reads it, so toggles and config.json hot-reloads apply live.

### tty7
|
||
|
||
**A terminal workbench: shells, sessions, SSH, coding agents.**

## Why
|
||
|
||
- **Fast** — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty ([benchmarks](#benchmarks))
|
||
- **Sessions persist** — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
|
||
- **Editor-grade input** — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
|
||
- **Agent-aware** — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
Native builds for each platform on [**Releases**](https://github.com/l0ng-ai/tty7/releases):

||
| **macOS** | `…-macos-arm64.dmg` · `…-x86_64.dmg` | drag into Applications |
|
||
| **Windows** | `…-setup.exe` · portable `….zip` | |
|
||
| **Linux** | `…-x86_64.AppImage` | `chmod +x` and run — x11/wayland libs bundled |
|
||
|
||
## What's inside
|
||
|
||
| | |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| **Input** | ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · <kbd>⌃ R</kbd> fuzzy history |
|
||
| **Window** | tabs & splits · <kbd>⌘ P</kbd> palette · <kbd>⌘ F</kbd> scrollback search · eight themes · IME |
|
||
| **Coding agents** | per-pane agent detection (~17 CLIs): status dot, notifications, branch + diff, resume after reboot, tray icon that signals "needs your input" |
|
||
| **SSH** | native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets, SFTP panel, port forwarding, jump hosts |
|
