Knows your commands

Times each one, tells you when a long one finishes, copies the last output or hands it over as a picture.

The side panel

Free, and quiet

Nothing about you leaves the machine

  • No account, no subscription. Download it and it works.
  • No telemetry. Nothing is uploaded, nothing pings home.
  • No secrets on disk. Anything secret comes from your own secrets manager, or the Keychain, at the moment it is needed.
