A Zellij plugin + live dashboard
Know the moment your terminal needs you.
A Zellij plugin reports your sessions → tabs → panes to a live dashboard, once a second — and pings you when a pane needs your attention, like a Claude session waiting on input. Redaction happens in the plugin, before anything is sent.

You can’t watch every terminal at once.
You start a task and switch away. The agent hits a prompt and waits. The build fails. A session detaches. Nothing in the terminal can reach you — so you lose minutes, or the whole coffee break, before you look back and notice.

How it works
01Install the plugin.A Rust → WebAssembly plugin runs inside Zellij and builds a snapshot of your sessions, tabs, and panes once a second.
02It reports to your dashboard.The snapshot is POSTed to the backend over an authenticated, write-only ingest token. Redaction is applied in the plugin, before anything is sent.
03You get pinged when a pane needs you.The dashboard shows every machine live; when an attention fires, you get a notification — browser push for everyone, Discord/Telegram DM for PRO.

Two separate keys, never mixed — a write-only token pushes snapshots and can’t read a thing; your Google sign-in is the only thing that can read or manage your account.
What you get
liveLive, once a second.Machines → sessions → tabs → panes, streaming over SSE. Current session first, then other live, then resurrectable/dead.
needs inputAttention badges.The dashboard flags the pane that needs you — needs-input, session stopped, session detached — and shows a distinct “thinking…” indicator when Claude is busy (not counted as needing you).
pushNotifications that reach you.Installable PWA with browser Web Push for everyone; Discord + Telegram DMs for PRO. Tune when, what, and where.
Peek at a pane, on demand.Optionally pull the last ~50 lines of a pane — ANSI colors and all — only when you ask. Off by default; content otherwise never leaves your machine.
multiMulti-machine, multi-tenant.One dashboard for your laptop, dev box, and servers, each named — real hostname, a custom alias, or hidden.
themeDark & light.Built to a hand-tuned terminal-native theme; follows your system, toggle to pin.
Your terminal is yours. Redaction happens before anything is sent.
Redacted on your machine.Names you hide never leave the plugin — they transmit as
null and the dashboard shows <hidden>. Settings fail closed: a typo redacts more, never less.Nothing is stored.The backend keeps only the latest snapshot per machine and current attentions — no history. Notifications are pruned after a few hours.
Raw output stays home.Pane contents are never sent by default. The opt-in peek scrubs known secret shapes in the plugin first, and the dashboard escapes markup so output can’t execute.
