TUIOS: Terminal UI Operating System 
TUIOS is a modern terminal multiplexer and window manager built with Go. It provides a vim-like modal interface with multiple terminal panes, workspaces, BSP tiling, kitty graphics protocol support, and a command palette, all running inside your existing terminal. A daemon keeps sessions alive, reaches sessions on your other machines, and lets the coding agents in your panes report their state and message each other.
Built on the Charm stack (Bubble Tea v2, Lipgloss v2), TUIOS features event-driven rendering for near-zero idle CPU usage, flicker-free kitty image passthrough, and comprehensive keyboard/mouse interaction.
## Documentation
Full documentation is available at **tuios.dev** (hosted) or in the `docs/` folder. To try tuios without installing it, take the guided tour at **tuios.dev/learn**: the real app, compiled to WebAssembly, with a practice shell in every pane.
What changed in v0.10.1 is in the release notes.

## Installation
### Package Managers
**Homebrew (macOS/Linux):**
 [code] 
**Homebrew, ghostty build (Linux only):** `tuios` built with the libghostty-vt emulator. It installs a binary with the same name as the `tuios` formula. Uninstall the formula first.
 [code] 
**Arch Linux (AUR):**
 [code] 
**Nix:**
 [code] 
Put a release tag after the repo name to build that release. Without a tag, Nix builds the newest commit on `main`.
### Other Methods
 [code] 
**GitHub Releases**: Pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD and OpenBSD, with a `checksums.txt`. The `tuios-ghostty_*` archives are `tuios` built on the libghostty-vt emulator, for Linux, macOS and Windows on amd64 and arm64.
**Building from source** needs Go 1.26.6 or newer.
**Updating.** If you installed with the quick install script or a re
