Luvus

Features

• Persistent workspaces: Open, rename, pin, and switch projects. A background server keeps tabs, panes, layouts, terminal state, and named sessions alive.
• Complete pane and tab control: Split, resize, zoom, move, name, focus, run, inspect, close, reorder, and swap with the mouse, TUI, or CLI.
• Agent awareness: Detect supported agents automatically and show blocked, working, done, or idle state with session titles, tokens, cost, context use, and optional sound alerts.
• Agent workflows: Start, name, message, inspect, wait for, resume, and send keys to agents. Fork Claude, Grok, Codex, and Pi sessions with their context intact.
• Files and code: Browse a Git-aware file tree, inspect files and changes, reveal paths, and open files in a pane, tab, preview, or external editor.
• Git and GitHub: View status, branches, commits, contributors, pull requests, issues, and repository activity without leaving Luvus.
• Worktrees and orchestration: Create worktrees, coordinate dependent tasks, reserve file paths, assign agents, run quality gates, and merge completed work.
• Remote and multi-client use: Attach over SSH, connect several clients with independent viewport sizes, and use the compact switcher on narrow screens.
• Terminal tools: Configure per-pane Scrollback Memory, search across pane history, use copy mode, click detected links, and run full-screen terminal apps.
• Extensible surfaces: Install modules with actions, events, settings, startup hooks, panes, sidebar docks, and Top or Bottom Luvus Bar widgets.
• Universal Harness Protocol: Build harnesses and orchestrators on the single versioned UHP 1.0 method registry, with owner-only local IPC, snapshots, event streams, exact input, and semantic waits.
• Custom interface: Move and resize two sidebars, remap keys and the prefix, use presets, select from 8 languages, and install composable local or community themes.
• Cross-platform delivery: Install on macOS, Linux, or Windows, migrate from previous releases, update with luvus update, and inspect the environment with luvus doctor.
