Always-On Terminal Workspace
An always-on terminal workspace keeps sessions alive and resumable, so your terminal behaves like a durable workstation.

An always-on terminal workspace is a terminal that stays alive and resumable. It treats the terminal as a persistent workspace, not a disposable tab.
Why terminal "sessions" fall short
Session-based terminals assume:
- you will reconnect quickly,
- the output you missed does not matter,
- and the terminal is disposable.
That model fails the moment you run a long task, switch devices, or step away.
What a terminal workspace adds
- Durable sessions with stable identity.
- Output replay for the time you were away.
- Resume over reconnect without restarts.
- Lightweight access without booting a full IDE.
The payoff
You stop managing terminals as fragile connections and start using them like real workspaces. The terminal stays alive, and your work does too.
