## Best for

Developers who live in the terminal and want agent sessions and previews without a full IDE.

## Why it deserves attention

Otty is a native terminal built around modern text rendering: ligatures, full Unicode, 24-bit color, inline images, clickable paths, and smooth GPU scrolling. Tabs, free-form splits, session recovery, a command palette, and snippets cover daily shell work, while agent features add parallel tasks, chat history, forking, a prompt queue, and a live preview that updates as an agent edits code. It is free with no account, available for macOS and Windows, though the Windows build is still beta and Linux and iOS are only on the roadmap. It sits between a plain terminal and a full agent development environment.
