What is it?

Pebrel is a desktop terminal built with Rust and GPUI. It combines local shells, remote SSH hosts, SFTP file transfers and local file browsing in one native workspace, with terminals arranged in tabs and draggable split panes.

The project is aimed at developers who run AI command-line tools such as Claude Code and Codex. It tracks each agent's activity and attention state, routes notifications back to the originating pane, and opens captured answers in a reader that renders Markdown, formulas and local images.

Other features include a completion engine that suggests Git branches, npm scripts, SSH aliases and WSL distributions, saved workspace layouts, Lua-based configuration with live reload, and a PowerShell prompt. Windows, macOS and Linux builds are provided, with Linux and macOS marked as Preview.
