Now playing — v1.1.112
Running multiple agents is messy
Coding agents let you run four projects at once. But your terminal stack, git tooling, and analytics were never designed for that.
Watch Theo break it downWithout vbcdr
- Which session finished where?
- Four projects, three sessions each, a dozen terminal tabs. One just finished and you have no idea which — so you alt-tab through every window guessing
- No idea where time and tokens go
- You can feel the burn rate but not see it. Hours and tokens disappear into whichever side project grabbed your attention that afternoon
- Context split across apps
- Everything belongs to one project — but it's scattered across terminal windows, GitHub Desktop, and a separate usage page
The vbcdr way
- One window per project
- Multiple agent terminals, the git commit graph, and live token and time analytics all live together. No more hunting across three different apps
- Git and analytics, built in
- Commit graph with branch lanes, inline diff after every edit, token-velocity chart, and time-per-project breakdown — all scoped to the project you're in
- Parallel without the pain
- Run four projects at once and switch between them instantly — terminal stack, layout, credentials, and scrollback all preserved per project
Built around TUIs
Terminals, diffs, skills, slash-commands, and token analytics — all wired for the way terminal agents actually work
Terminals take the stage
- Multi-terminal
- Several agent terminals per project, side by side and labeled by what's running
- Terminal status
- Live indicators per terminal — a green lamp the moment the agent goes idle
- Persistent terminals
- Tabs and full scrollback survive app restarts, even after a reboot
- Themes, dark and light
- Dracula, Catppuccin, Nord, Tokyo Night, Synthwave and more, plus a live editor
See where your tokens and hours actually go
Token velocity, sessions, and time-per-project — built right in. No extra tracker, no manual timers, no second window to keep open.
- Hours per project
- Every project ranked by hours spent, so you know which side bet is actually getting your attention
- Project time share
- A live breakdown of your week, month, or year — the picture your gut feeling never quite matches
- Activity heatmap
- Hour-by-hour patterns across the week — find your real focus windows, not the ones you imagine
- Streaks and totals
- Current streak, longest streak, active days, total time — the numbers that keep you honest
