adhdTerminal vs Terminal, tmux and iTerm
All three are excellent terminals. None of them was built for five agents working at once while you watch.
Tabs hide, tiles show
In Terminal or iTerm, a session you are not looking at is a tab title. You find out it finished when you remember to check. On the wall every session is visible at the same time, with a status you can read from across the room.
Names that mean something
A tab is called “zsh” or the folder name. A tile is called what it is doing right now, written by the agent working in it.
Results without scrolling
tmux panes show you the last screen of output. Tiles show you the last three results and the numbers that matter, posted by the session, so you do not scroll to find out what happened.
Restart and continue
tmux keeps the process. adhdTerminal keeps the conversation: after a reboot every tile reopens in place and resumes the same Claude Code session.
What stays the same
Inside a tile it is a normal terminal. Your dotfiles, your shell, your Claude Code settings all apply. If you ever stop using the wall, nothing is lost.
