Tile types

The six kinds of tile you can pin into a Command Center layout.

On this page

Open the Widgets panel on the right of the Command Center toolbar to see the palette. Drag any category onto the mosaic to pin it. Most categories drop a placeholder first and let you pick the specific item; the Browser category creates a tile with an inline URL composer.

Sessions

A live chat for a work item. Inside the tile you get the message stream, tool-call rendering, permission and question cards pinned above the composer, and a working ChatInput at the bottom. The session header lets you rename and stop the session inline.

A scroll-to-bottom button appears when you scroll up. Click it to jump back to the live tail.

The tile auto-removes itself if its underlying session is deleted or archived.

Terminals

A real PTY tab attached to a session. Same xterm.js engine as the bottom-docked terminal panel — find bar, scroll, copy, paste all behave the same. The tile chrome adds a small actions menu and shows the shell PID badge so you can tell terminals apart at a glance.

Assistants

A chat surface for an assistant. Send messages, see replies, scroll back through the assistant channel.

Git

A worktree’s git view — changes, branches, commit composer. Scoped to a single project + worktree.

IDE

A worktree’s editor surface. The collapsed rail shows Files and Search icons even at narrow widths, so you can stay productive in a small tile.

Browser

An inline iframe-backed web view. New browser tiles open with an empty URL composer; type a URL, submit, and the tile becomes the page. Dropping the Browser category twice always creates two distinct tiles even if you end up at the same URL.

Per-tile color

Right-click a tile header (or use the tile menu) to set a custom accent color. The color shows on the tile’s chrome and helps you spot the tile you want at a glance. Without a custom color, each kind falls back to a default accent (teal for sessions, violet for terminals, etc).

Card vs flat

The tile style toggle in the toolbar switches the whole mosaic between two looks:

  • Card tiles — each tile sits in a rounded card with chrome around it. Easier to tell tiles apart.
  • Flat tiles — edge-to-edge, minimal chrome. Maximizes content area.

The choice persists across restarts.
