BSP splits
Cmd+D drops a new pane into the largest rectangle, split along its longer axis. Tile a dozen agents without reaching for the mouse.

The terminal
that runs your agents.
QuorumTerm is an agent-native shell for Claude Code and Codex. It tiles panes the way a tiling WM does, tracks what every session is doing, and reports it straight up to the Quorum notch.

01 / Features
A shell that
knows the work.
Most terminals are dumb pipes. QuorumTerm understands that each pane is probably an agent doing something — and makes that state legible, both in the window and up in the notch.
02
Live feed to the notch
Every pane pushes its working dir, title, foreground process, and unseen-output flag to Quorum on a local socket — about once a second, fire-and-forget.
03
Agent states, read from the screen
16 agent CLIs recognized — claude, codex, gemini, cursor, and more — with idle, working, and blocked derived live from each pane. The sidebar shows every agent with a state dot.
04
Focusable from above
The notch focuses the exact pane behind any notification. ⇧⌘J steps through the queue and lands your cursor in the right session.
⌘K command palette
Every command, fuzzy-filtered — modes, tabs, overlays, notes.
Git Graph overlay
GitUp-style swim-lane history, full screen, in the terminal.
Worktree environments
⌘⇧W picker plus per-project up/down scripts, one pane each.
Voice dictation
⌘⇧V records, Deepgram transcribes, the text lands in the pane.
iOS remote
Mirror the terminal to your phone over Tailscale. Approve from anywhere.
Session restore & agent resume
Layout survives restarts; claude and codex panes resume their sessions.
tmux-style control CLI
Query panes as JSON, split, focus, send keys — from scripts and hooks.
Graphics & ligatures
Sixel, iTerm, and kitty images. Cross-cell ligatures. OSC 8 links.
And more
Themes, pane notes, drag & drop, hook metadata, SSH panes… every feature, documented.
Read the docs02 / Protocol
One protocol,
both directions.
QuorumTerm and the Quorum notch talk over a loopback socket — nothing leaves the machine. The terminal streams state up; the notch sends focus and spawn commands back down.
QuorumTermQuorum
Streams up, ~1×/sec
- working directory + title
- foreground process
- unseen output flag
- progress percentage
- bell / notify events
QuorumQuorumTerm
Commands back down
- ⇧⌘J — focus the pane behind an alert
- + button — spawn a new session
- raise & activate the window
No notch running? QuorumTerm still works — pushes just drop silently, and the terminal runs like any other.
03 / Ecosystem
The terminal is
the core.
Not the whole story.
QuorumTerm is where the work happens — every agent gets a pane. Around it, a small family of native tools that speak the same local protocol. Quorum, the notch companion, watches every session from the top of your screen.
Core · the shell01
QuorumTerm
The agent-native terminal. BSP splits, per-pane progress and bells, and a state feed every other tool in the ecosystem reads from.

Notch companion02
Quorum
The menu-bar agent that turns your notch into a live command surface — approvals, usage, and every QuorumTerm session, visible without changing windows.
More in the pipeline03
The protocol is the product. Tools that read local agent state and surface it natively — without a single packet leaving your machine.

04 / Manifesto
Local first.
Native always.
QuorumTerm is built for developer machines, not data centers. It treats the Mac as a first-class operating environment — quirks, notch, launchd, and all — and refuses the usual web-app shortcuts.

sent off-device
Pane state, progress, and bells travel over a loopback socket to the notch. Nothing crosses the network, ever.

GPU renderer
A native GPU pipeline draws the grid. No web view, no Electron, no compositor lag — even with a dozen panes streaming.
