A Mac terminal with a project sidebar — not another row of tabs.

Yes. Selecting another row swaps the workspace, but a project you have opened stays mounted: its terminals keep running, their scrollback stays, and a half-typed command is still at the prompt when you come back. Services run until you stop the project, and if Claude Code or Codex needs an answer while you are in another project, that project's row turns amber.

A project list. Each row is a project you work on, and selecting it opens that project's terminals, services, and git state. The sidebar itself is only that list: rows do not expand into a file tree and none of them previews a file. Files are one level in: open the project's Files tab (⌘⇧E) for a tree and an editor, or its Changes view (⌘⇧R) for diffs, or send the folder to Finder or your editor with Open with.

Yes. Drag the divider to any width between 160 and 400 pixels; the default is 260 pixels and the width you choose is remembered. ⌘B collapses the sidebar so the terminals go full-width, and pressing it again brings the sidebar back. The collapsed state itself is not remembered between launches, so a new window always opens with the sidebar showing.

Yes. Folders are one level deep — they are called folders in the UI, they collapse, and you drag projects into them and drag folders into the order you want. A folder cannot contain another folder, which keeps the sidebar a list you can scan rather than a tree you have to navigate.

Directly beneath the project they came from, in a stack you can collapse. A duplicate or worktree inherits its parent's name with a suffix, a copy's dot has a faint twin and a worktree's dot a small branch mark, and the tooltip says which project it came from. Folded, the stack shows a one-line tally such as 2 needs you · 1 running, so a set of parallel copies stays together instead of scattered through the list.

Each project has one dot: filled green when something is running, hollow when nothing is, and red when that project's config has an error. While lpm is making copies or worktrees of a project, or removing it, a spinner takes the dot's place. There are no per-service dots or ports in the sidebar; for that you open the project. Separately, Claude Code and Codex report their state into the row itself: the name shimmers while an agent works, turns amber when it needs an answer, turns red and reads Problem on an error, and turns blue when it is done. Each agent also gets its own row underneath with a bell, alert, or check and its elapsed time.

Yes, in two different ways. An SSH project sits in the same project list as your local ones, with no separate SSH badge on the row. Another computer or a Linux host you have paired gets its own section, headed by that machine's name. It starts at the bottom of the list and you can drag it anywhere, above your local projects too; its rows open the same project view.

There is no search box in the sidebar. Use ⌘1–⌘9 to jump to one of the first nine projects, or hold Ctrl and tap Tab to flip between the ones you used last. Folders and the order you drag rows into keep the list itself scannable.

Yes. Right-click a project or copy and open Status to give it a work status: ⏳ In progress, 👀 Review, 🚀 Ready, ✅ Done, ⛔ Blocked with a reason, ⏰ Waiting, ❓ Needs decision, ⏸️ Paused, or one you define with your own emoji and label. The mark sits beside the name with an optional note line, and a collapsed folder or stack of copies counts them in its summary.

Right-click a row for its git menu (pull, push, commit, create a PR, switch branch), Duplicate and New worktree, Open with your editor, Rename, and Detach to new window. Shift-click selects several projects to move into a folder or remove at once, and you can turn on double-click to start or stop a project in Settings.
