Manifold Request an invite

Run every session in one window.

Manifold is a terminal for parallel work: splits, tabs and workspaces for your shells, SSH sessions and AI coding agents, with live status on every pane.

splits

Split without limits.

Any layout, any depth. Every pane is its own shell: PowerShell, bash, zsh, whatever your machine runs. Splits nest as far as your screen can follow, and every one keeps its own working directory.

pulse

Know what every agent is doing.

Manifold Pulse reads your AI coding agent's state and shows it right on the pane: working, waiting on you, or done. Run five agents side by side and glance instead of babysitting.

workspaces

Your whole setup, one keystroke.

Ctrl+K reopens a workspace exactly as you left it: panes, folders, start commands. Switching projects stops being twenty minutes of terminal archaeology.

Sync that can't read your settings.

An account is optional. Turn on settings sync and your settings, keys and sessions travel in an end-to-end encrypted vault only your devices can open. The server stores a sealed blob it cannot read.

Questions, answered.

Is Manifold free?

During early access, yes. Completely. Pricing comes later, and early users will hear about it first.

Do early users ever pay?

No. If you're in with an early-access token, Manifold stays free for you forever, with every feature included, also the ones we add later. That's our thank-you for testing early.

Why does Windows warn me during install?

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows an "unrecognized app" notice: choose "More info", then "Run anyway". Updates are delivered over HTTPS and verified against a sha512 checksum. Code-signing is on the roadmap.

Which platforms are supported?

Windows is first-class, with automatic updates. macOS runs as a beta (manual DMG install). Linux isn't available yet.

How does the invite work?

Fill in the form below and your registration token plus the installer link land in your inbox. Enter the token when creating your account on first launch. Done.

Where does my data live?

On your machine. An account is optional; if you enable settings sync, everything is end-to-end encrypted and the server stores an opaque blob it cannot read.

Want in?

Early access is invite-only, 50 spots in this wave. Leave your address and your registration token arrives by mail.
