- Infinite canvas — no tabs, no splits. Place panes anywhere on a zoomable surface
- Drag, resize, arrange — your workspace grows with your thinking, not your monitor
- Zoom levels — zoom out for the big picture, zoom in to focus
- Persistent layout — everything stays where you put it
- Real tmux sessions via ttyd — full ANSI color, scrollback, your shell config
- Broadcast input — type once, send keystrokes to multiple terminals simultaneously
- Zero SSH — connect agents from any machine to one canvas
- HUD overlay — live CPU, RAM, and Claude API usage across all connected machines
- Any device — laptop, tablet, phone. Same workspace, same layout
- Tailscale / LAN / hosted relay — works however you connect
- Fully self-hosted — the entire stack runs on your hardware
- No data stored server-side — terminal I/O is relayed, never persisted
- Tab chords for pane switching
- WASD move mode for spatial navigation
- Shortcut numbers (1–9) for instant pane focus
- Broadcast mode for multi-terminal input
