Product Overview
What is Otty?
Otty is a native terminal application designed for developers who value both aesthetics and performance. Built with GPU-accelerated rendering (Metal on macOS), it delivers smooth, responsive interactions without the overhead of Electron-based tools. Otty sits between a traditional terminal and a full agent dev environment — offering first-class support for code agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, while keeping the focused, keyboard-first interface that developers prefer. Currently free for macOS, with Windows and Linux support on the way.
Key Features
GPU-Accelerated Rendering
Native Metal rendering on macOS delivers smooth scrolling, ligatures, true color, inline images, and a polished visual experience — no Electron, no overhead.
Code Agent Integration
First-class support for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode — run multiple agents side by side, monitor every task, and pipe terminal output directly into agent chat.
Flexible Pane & Tab System
Tabs, splits, and free-form pane layouts that can be dragged, snapped, and resized. Session recovery restores every pane exactly where you left off after closing.
Keyboard-First Efficiency
Command palette with fuzzy-find, inline ghost-text autocomplete, Open Quickly session jumping, and fully customizable shortcuts and recipe snippets.
Deep Customization
Live-swappable themes, programmable keybindings, and a single hot-reloading config file that applies changes instantly without restarting.
Use Cases
- Code Agent Workflows : Developers running Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode can manage multiple agents simultaneously, track task output, and review code diffs — all within one terminal window.
- Multi-Task Development : Engineers juggling multiple projects benefit from tabbed sessions, split panes, and session recovery to maintain context across work streams without losing state.
- Performance-Sensitive Environments : Developers who need a snappy, low-latency terminal for running benchmarks, build pipelines, or real-time log monitoring get native rendering performance without IDE bloat.
- Keyboard-Driven Power Users : Developers who prefer staying off the mouse can navigate entirely through the command palette, hint mode, vi-style shortcuts, and custom workflow recipes.
