cy is a new terminal multiplexer (akin to tmux, screen, et al.) that records your terminal sessions so that you can replay and search through them at your leisure. It comes out of the box with a powerful fuzzy finder and uses Janet, a Lisp-like programming language, for configuration.

As someone who does all of their software development in the terminal with text-based tools, I came to believe that it would be useful to be able to play back and search through everything that I do. I also felt like terminal multiplexers were stuck in a rut, and could be much more than what they are. cy was born from the idea that the terminal is a powerful medium that has yet to reach its full potential. A better terminal multiplexer will help it get there.

cy is still experimental. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, feel free to create an issue on GitHub or reach out!

cy is open-source software (MIT license) and forever will be.

Congratulations on launching cy! As a developer who spends a lot of time in the terminal, I can immediately see the immense value in being able to replay and search through terminal sessions. The integration of a powerful fuzzy finder and the use of Janet for configuration are brilliant additions that set cy apart from other terminal multiplexers.

Your vision of pushing the boundaries of what terminal multiplexers can do is truly inspiring. I’m excited to see how cy evolves and contributes to making terminal usage even more efficient and powerful.

Best of luck with the launch, and thank you for keeping it open-source!
