flow
flow is a minimalist terminal dashboard that displays real-time network throughput with smooth animations, multiple responsive modes, and zero configuration.
AI repository intelligence
FR-AI / ANALYSISWhy it is worth attention
It combines extreme throughput (2× faster than Alacritty in benchmarks) with session persistence that survives reboots, and agent-aware panes that recognize Claude Code and similar CLIs, all in a single Rust binary using Zed's gpui renderer.
Who it is for
- Developers who want a faster, persistent terminal without tmux
- SSH-heavy users needing keychain integration and jump hosts
- AI coding agent users (e.g., Claude Code) who want agent status and session resume
- Power users seeking editor-grade input features like fuzzy history search and syntax highlighting
Use cases
- Replace Alacritty/Ghostty/Kitty for daily terminal work with lower latency
- Manage multiple remote servers via SSH profiles with SFTP and port forwarding
- Run AI coding agents in dedicated panes with lifecycle tracking
- Keep long-running shell sessions (e.g., builds, servers) alive across OS restarts
Strengths
- Benchmarked 2× plaintext IO throughput and 1.8× DOOM-fire FPS compared to Alacritty
- Sessions persist independently of the GUI; quitting or rebooting does not kill them
- Integrated editor-grade features (completion, syntax highlight, fuzzy history) with zero shell config
- Native SSH stack (russh) with profiles, SFTP panel, and jump host support
Considerations
- Only 9 built-in themes, which may be limited for some users
- Benchmarks were conducted on a single machine (Apple M1 Pro) with a specific workload
- Agent awareness currently supports ~17 CLI tools; others may not be automatically detected

Why
- Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
- Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume
Install
Native builds for each platform on Releases:
| macOS | …-macos-arm64.dmg · …-x86_64.dmg | drag into Applications |
| Windows | …-setup.exe · portable ….zip | |
| Linux | …-x86_64.AppImage | chmod +x and run — x11/wayland libs bundled |
What's inside
| Input | ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · ⌃ R fuzzy history |
| Window | tabs & splits · ⌘ P palette · ⌘ F scrollback search · nine themes · IME |
| Coding agents | per-pane agent detection (~17 CLIs): status dot, notifications, branch + diff, resume after reboot, tray icon that signals "needs your input" |
| SSH | native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets, SFTP panel, port forwarding, jump hosts |

Benchmarks
Same machine, same day, same 155×40 grid — Apple M1 Pro, macOS 26.3.1, five-run averages (2026-07-04):
| tty7 | Alacritty | Ghostty | Kitty | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Plaintext IO — 11 MB cat (lower = better) | 95 ms | 239 ms | 179 ms | 185 ms |
| DOOM-fire frame rate (higher = better) | 888 fps | 485 fps | 552 fps | 617 fps |
| Cold-launch memory | 116 MB¹ | 105 MB | 128 MB | 130 MB |
¹ GUI 105 MB + the persistent daemon 11 MB.
