Run many coding agents in parallel and always know which one needs you.
- Notifications built for agents — a waiting agent's pane gets a ring, its tab lights up, and ⌘⇧U jumps to the latest unread. Wired for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode out of the box.
- Vertical tabs — the sidebar shows git branch, PR status, working directory, listening ports, and the latest notification for every workspace.
- Splits and instant agents — ⌘D / ⌘⇧D to split, ⌘⇧C boots a Claude Code workspace,
programa claude-teamsruns teammate mode as native splits. - In-app browser — split a scriptable browser next to your terminal; agents can snapshot the page, click, fill forms, and evaluate JS against your dev server.
- SSH workspaces —
programa ssh user@remote; browser panes route through the remote network so localhost just works. - Scriptable everything — a CLI and socket API for workspaces, splits, keystrokes, and the browser.
- Native and fast — Swift/AppKit with libghostty rendering, no Electron. Reads your existing
~/.config/ghostty/configfor themes, fonts, and colors.

brew install --cask programaPrograma auto-updates: every commit on main that passes CI ships automatically as the latest release. On relaunch it restores layout, directories, scrollback, and browser state — not live processes (yet).
Running many agents in Ghostty splits, the problem was never the terminal — it was knowing which agent needed me. Native notifications all say "waiting for your input" with no context, and GUI orchestrators lock you into their workflow (and Electron).
Programa is a primitive, not a solution: a terminal, a browser, notifications, workspaces, and a CLI to control all of it. It doesn't prescribe how to work with agents — what you build with the primitives is yours.
⌘⇧P opens the command palette, which lists every action. Full reference: docs/keyboard-shortcuts.md — everything is editable in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts.
Agents running inside programa (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) can drive the app itself — split panes, read a sibling pane's output, spawn and coordinate a helper agent — without stealing your focus. programa claude/codex/opencode install-integration installs SKILL.md alongside the existing hooks; see docs/agent-skill.md for the full walkthrough.
