Ubiquitty

macOS

Apple silicon, macOS 26 or later.

The macOS app is the reference client. It runs local shells itself, carries ubiquitty-host and ubq inside its bundle, and connects to hosts on other machines over SSH and QUIC.

A QUIC workspace in Noir with four tabs, a green devbox tag, source code, passing tests, live braille CPU graphs and blue pane progress.
Code, tests and a live remote machine, in one workspace.

What it has

Section titled “What it has”
  • Rendering: one Swift and Metal renderer with CoreText text, paced by a display link; sRGB or Display P3; translucency, behind-window blur and a background image.
  • Windows: native tabs you can tear off into windows, split panes, a full-screen tab strip, a drop-down window on a global hotkey.
  • Sessions: share a running window with the host and take it back; restore the last session on launch (experimental); connect to remote hosts, install and update their host; manage a host’s sessions, clients, permissions and tokens; open control-mode sessions of an existing multiplexer as native tabs.
  • Agents: one menu item registers the MCP server with Claude Code; consent prompts, a presence pill and per-agent revoke.
  • Interface: Settings with search, Beam (the command palette), the inspector, regex search, styled copy, separate clipboard buffers with a paste panel, Secure Keyboard Entry, notifications and Dock badges, VoiceOver reading.
  • Configuration: the config file is watched, and a saved change applies to every window.
A terminal window running a build with a progress list, with the inspector open on the right, showing Running Processes: the session's shell and the build's processes (a make and a tail running under the shell, with several helper shells), with their process IDs.
The inspector beside a session: its live process tree.
