About Zellij

Zellij is a workspace aimed at developers, ops-oriented people, and terminal enthusiasts, designed around the philosophy that one must not sacrifice simplicity for power, delivering a great out-of-the-box experience together with advanced features. Geared toward both beginners and power users, it offers deep customizability and personal automation through layouts, true multiplayer collaboration, unique UX elements such as floating and stacked panes, and an innovative resizing algorithm that automatically places new panes in the optimal location. A plugin system enables creation of custom pane types in any language compiling to WebAssembly, while a comprehensive CLI introduces Command Panes for running and rerunning commands in dedicated panes and provides actions like run, edit, and rename-pane. Zellij’s single-process core ensures responsive performance, and its batteries-included approach gives users a terminal workspace with everything needed for modern development workflows.

iTerm2 is a replacement for Terminal and the successor to iTerm. It works on Macs with macOS 10.14 or newer. iTerm2 brings the terminal into the modern age with features you never knew you always wanted. iTerm2 has a lot of features. Every conceivable desire a terminal user might have has been foreseen and solved. And these are just the main attractions! Divide a tab up into multiple panes, each one showing a different session. You can slice vertically and horizontally and create any number of panes in any imaginable arrangement. Register a hotkey that brings iTerm2 to the foreground when you're in another application. A terminal is always a keypress away. You can choose to have the hotkey open a dedicated window. This gives you an always-available terminal at your fingertips. iTerm2 comes with a robust find-on-page feature. The UI stays out of the way. All matches are immediately highlighted.

TmuxAI
TmuxAI
TmuxAI is an intelligent terminal assistant that lives inside your tmux sessions. Unlike other CLI AI tools, TmuxAI observes and understands the content of your tmux panes, providing assistance without requiring you to change your workflow or interrupt your terminal sessions. Think of TmuxAI as a pair programmer that sits beside you, watching your terminal environment exactly as you see it. It can understand what you're working on across multiple panes, help solve problems and execute commands on your behalf in a dedicated execution pane. TmuxAI's design philosophy mirrors the way humans collaborate at the terminal. Just as a colleague sitting next to you would observe your screen, understand context from what's visible, and help accordingly, TmuxAI: Observes: Reads the visible content in all your panes Communicates: Uses a dedicated chat pane for interaction Acts: Can execute commands in a separate execution pane (with your permission)
