Everything you need, in one window.
The whole tool — terminals, panes, git, and the little touches — without leaving xshell.
Open as many terminals as you want. Claude Code, Codex, plain shells — all tabs in one window.
Group sessions in one pane. Drag a tab into another terminal — they merge into a group and run side by side.
Hit Ctrl+K for quick actions. One palette for every session, project, and command.
Built-in git panel. Stage, commit, and switch branches without leaving the terminal.
Bring your own shell. PowerShell, cmd, Git Bash, zsh, fish — auto-detected, ready in any project.
Group projects into folders. Folders in the sidebar expand on click — badges show what’s running inside.
Keep an eye on your limits. The sidebar chip always shows your 5-hour window — hover it for the full picture.
Customize each project. Name, color, emoji — tell 20 projects apart at a glance.
