What Is a Terminal Workspace?

A terminal workspace is a persistent terminal that keeps sessions, output, and state alive across reconnects.

A terminal workspace is a terminal you can leave and resume without losing state. It is the terminal as a durable workspace, not a disposable connection.

Direct answer

A terminal workspace keeps:

  • session identity stable,
  • output replay available on reconnect,
  • state continuity across time.

Why it matters

Most terminals are optimized for fast sessions. A terminal workspace is optimized for continuity, which is the missing piece in long-running dev workflows.
