About
NODS is a terminal workspace orchestrator. Developers describe windows, panes, working directories and startup commands once in YAML, then launch the full environment with a single command.
It drives tmux, gnome-terminal, Terminator and Konsole, locally or on remote servers over SSH with persistent tmux sessions. The same definition can start an AI assistant in each pane and inject its prompt, coordinating agentic work across machines through a shared ledger.
Workspace configurations can be version-controlled and shared across a team, and session metrics track launch times and usage. The CLI is open source and runs on macOS and Linux.
Butts Studios designed the landing site.
