A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, and coding agents.
tty7 is a terminal workbench written in pure Rust and rendered on Zed's gpui with a VT core from Alacritty. It offers persistent sessions that survive quitting and rebooting, editor-grade input, native SSH profiles with SFTP and port forwarding, remote workspaces, agent-aware panes for Claude Code, Codex and similar CLIs, and a scriptable CLI with skills.
tty7 installs tty7-server on remote hosts automatically; download it manually only for offline installation. SHA-256 checksums.
For fixes before the next stable release, try the nightly build. The phone companion is released separately.
What’s new
This release adds a phone companion, a message composer for agent CLIs, worktree setup and recovery, and Windows remote workspaces. It also improves daemon and SSH recovery and fixes desktop update checks when a mobile release is marked latest (reported by @zeuslcf in #1151).

What's new
The built-in code editor grows into a real one: language servers, multiple cursors, git change markers, a symbol outline, a split view, quick open and a redesigned find bar with replace. The whole window was redesigned, settings moved into a window of their own, and the command palette became Search Everywhere, with tabs for terminals, past agent sessions, hosts and commands.
The right panel gains a GitHub tab for issues and pull requests, including a pull request's checks and reviews. Tabs can be put to sleep to free their memory, and files dropped onto a remote pane are uploaded there. Qoder CN, Prime Agent and Empryo join the supported agents.

What's new
Settings was reorganised around what is being configured, its search results can be edited in place, and the SSH host editor finally takes a password, a key file and its passphrase. A remote host's tty7 server can now be updated from the command palette, and Windows gets a portable mode that keeps its data beside the executable.
Most of the release is fixes: an SSH password prompt that kept coming back, full-screen programs losing their modes or their screen across a reconnect or workspace switch, function keys, stuck tab titles, and missed resizes. The Windows builds no longer need the Visual C++ redistributable. CodeBuddy, Qoder and Crush join the supported agents.
