Command Center overview

One screen that tiles every session, terminal, editor, and git view you care about.

On this page

The Command Center is the desktop dashboard for watching everything at once. Instead of clicking through sessions one at a time, you tile them into a resizable mosaic and keep them all on screen — with a working chat, terminal, or editor inside each tile.

It is desktop-only. The portal and mobile use traditional one-thing-at-a-time navigation.

When to use it

  • You’re driving multiple agents in parallel and want every session in view.
  • You want a session, its terminal, and its git view side-by-side.
  • You’re keeping an eye on a long-running build while reviewing diffs in another worktree.
  • You want a per-project workspace — one set of tiles for “Project A” and a different set for “Project B” — and to flip between them without losing layout.

Where to find it

Open it from the Command Center icon in the desktop nav rail (the four-square grid). The view fills the main pane.

The toolbar across the top has, from left to right:

  • Group chips and layout tabs — your saved tile arrangements (see Groups and layouts).
  • Tile style toggle — switch between card tiles (boxed, with chrome) and flat tiles (edge-to-edge, minimal chrome).
  • Widgets — show or hide the right-side palette of pin sources you can drag into the mosaic.

The body underneath holds the mosaic itself.

What you can pin

Six tile kinds (full reference in Tile types):

  • Sessions — a working chat for a session, complete with its message stream, permission cards, and composer.
  • Terminals — a real PTY tab from any session.
  • Assistants — chat with an assistant directly.
  • Git — a worktree’s git view.
  • IDE — a worktree’s editor.
  • Browser — an inline web view.

What it is not

  • It is not a read-only dashboard. Every tile is interactive — type into the session composer, run commands in the terminal, edit files in the IDE, approve permissions inline.
  • It does not replace the per-surface views. Every tile has an Expand affordance that jumps you to the dedicated Sessions / Terminals / IDE view if you need more room.
  • It does not sync to the portal or mobile. Layouts live on the desktop where you set them up.
