What it does
TUIOS splits your terminal, the text window programmers use, into many panes and workspaces, with keyboard controls similar to the vim editor.
Sessions keep running even if you close the window or restart. Coding agents running in its panes can report their status and message each other, and one inbox collects what needs your attention.
There is an online guided tour you can try without installing anything.
