Terminal Board

Terminal Board is a terminal-first workspace surface. You arrange terminals, file previews, browser panes, ACP panes, and VibeCast in a resizable grid layout. Each terminal tile is powered by Ghostty, a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator with native macOS rendering.

Creating terminals

  1. Click the + button in the board toolbar.
  2. Select a project and working directory for the new terminal.

The terminal appears as a new tile on the board.

Splitting tiles

Split an existing tile to add a new terminal alongside it:

  • Right-click a tile header and select a split direction from the context menu.
  • Use the split option from Spotlight.

Repositioning tiles

Drag a tile header to move it within the grid. Drop zones appear as you drag:

  • Left or Right — place the tile beside the target.
  • Above or Below — place the tile above or below the target.
  • Swap — exchange positions with the target tile.

Resizing

Drag the dividers between columns or rows to resize tiles. Adjacent tiles adjust to fill available space.

Spatial navigation

Use your configured shortcuts or arrow keys to move focus between tiles without reaching for the mouse.

Minimizing tiles

Minimize a tile to tuck it into the minimized tab bar; tap its chip to reopen it in Spotlight. Each minimized chip is labeled with the terminal’s tab title — falling back to the project title, then a generic Terminal — so chips match the names you see in Spotlight, the rail, and tmux.

Detached board windows

Send tiles to separate windows for multi-monitor workflows:

  1. Right-click a tile header.
  2. Select Send to New Board Window or Send to Board Window.

Moving a tile removes it from the source window and adds it to the target. Empty detached windows close automatically.

💡 Tip: Spotlight opened from a detached window stays local to that window.

Detached window behavior

  • Detached windows have no separate settings shell — use the main window for settings.
  • Window geometry is persisted per VibeSpace on a best-effort basis.

⚠️ Note: Detached windows are board-only surfaces. Other workspace features are not available in them.

Glass overlay headers

Tile headers for terminals, files, and browser panes use glass overlays that float on top of content. Content gets the full tile height — headers no longer consume vertical space. The overlays use Liquid Glass on macOS 26+ and fall back to ultraThinMaterial on earlier versions.

The split and temporary terminal buttons have moved from the tile header to the Terminal Scroll Assist D-pad.
