### What we like

Vertical tabs with individual notifications, working directories, and ports. Split panes within each tab with in-app browser support. Fully macOS native (Swift + libghostty). Includes a CLI and socket API for automation. iOS app syncs in real time to continue on mobile. Good keyboard shortcuts.

### Tradeoffs

Currently macOS only, but there is a waitlist for other platforms.
