Everything QuorumTerm does.

QuorumTerm is an agent-native shell: a pure-Rust, GPU-rendered terminal that tiles panes like a window manager, understands which agent runs in each one, and reports it all to the Quorum notch. These pages document every feature in the current build.

Feature areas

Tiling & tabsBSP splits, draggable dividers, tabs, per-tab agent mode, the sidebar, and pane notes.Agent awareness16 agent CLIs recognized, idle/working/blocked states read from the screen, hook-reported metadata, session resume.Command palette⌘K — every command, plus the Usage Review, Git Graph, Theme Editor, and Settings overlays.WorktreesThe ⌘⇧W picker and per-project worktree environments with up/down scripts.Control CLIquorum-term — a tmux-style CLI over the control socket: queries, splits, focus, send-keys.Notch integrationThe state channel to the Quorum notch: what streams up, what commands come back down.Voice & remote⌘⇧V dictation through Deepgram, and the WebSocket bridge to the iOS remote over Tailscale.RenderingThe pure-Rust wgpu pipeline: ligatures, underline styles, box-drawing, sixel/kitty graphics.ConfigurationThe TOML config file, seven built-in themes, and the full keyboard shortcut table.

Thirty-second tour

Launch QuorumTerm and you get a single shell pane and the sidebar. ⌘D splits the focused pane along its longer axis — keep pressing it and panes tile into a balanced BSP grid. ⌘T opens a new tab; ⌘K opens the command palette, which reaches everything else: agent mode, the worktree picker, the Git Graph, usage review, themes, and settings.

Run claude or codex (or 14 other agent CLIs) in any pane and the sidebar picks it up automatically, shows a live state dot — idle, working, or blocked — and streams the whole picture up to the Quorum notchif it's running. Nothing is configured, and nothing leaves the machine.

Ground rules

Three invariants hold across every feature documented here: pure Rust (no FreeType, HarfBuzz, Electron, or C build steps anywhere in the dependency graph), GPU-only rendering (one wgpu pipeline draws everything), and zero network (every socket is local; the only exceptions are features you explicitly point at a remote — SSH shells, Deepgram dictation, and the Tailscale remote bridge).
