Features

Built for terminal power users

🔍

Universal Discovery

Automatically finds every session across iTerm2, WezTerm, Warp, tmux, and Terminal.app. No config, no plugins.

🧠

AI Smart Grouping

Sessions are auto-labeled and clustered by project, role, and activity. See "api-server" not "bash /dev/ttys003".

👻

Never Steals Focus

Floating sidebar uses a non-activating panel. Click anything in bashme — your cursor stays in the terminal.

💬

Claude Code Chat

Press ⌘K to ask questions in natural language. "Kill the stuck deploy" or "What's using port 3000?"

🚨

Error Surfacing

Panics, tracebacks, and crashes are auto-detected and promoted to the top. Never miss a broken build again.

🔬

Deep Inspection

Process trees, network connections, open files, CPU and memory — all from a single click. Safe kill with impact analysis.
