Ghostty just turned the AI coding terminal into a one-second control panel.

Many users on Mac have been juggling terminal windows manually.

A new sidecar tool called Rig changes that.

It sits as a floating side panel. You create, focus, and arrange sessions in about a second.

The trick is how it controls native windows.

Commands pipe through AppleScript and the macOS Accessibility API.

That gives direct hooks into real window behavior.

Tap a session in the panel and jump straight to its Space.

Four window layouts come built in:

• grid for parallel work

• cascade for stacked focus

• side by side comparisons

• fill screen for solo runs

It also watches for local servers started inside a session.

When one boots up, a clickable URL surfaces beside the right window on the current desktop.

Accessibility and Automation permissions handle the heavy lifting underneath.
