TL;DR

What — A persistent terminal session daemon (like tmux, but smaller) with a tmux-compatible command layer for AI-agent tooling. Detach and reattach by name or pane id.
Who it's for — Terminal-first coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor Agent, Antigravity/agy, Kiro, Jules, Aider, Goose, Amp, Crush, Kimi, Qwen, Gemini CLI, Grok Build CLI via custom lterm agent grok, oh-my-codex / oh-my-claude, and users running them inside cmux.
How — Use lterm start to create a session, lterm resume to reconnect, and lterm agent / lterm claude / lterm codex / lterm opencode / lterm agy / lterm kiro / lterm gemini for built-in shimmed agent launchers. Inside a tmux-enabled session, the tmux command resolves to lterm tmux-compat.
Status — 1.x CLI with a documented 1.0 command/output compatibility boundary. It is a same-user convenience daemon — not a sandbox, an escape-sequence sanitizer, or a full tmux replacement.

`lterm` is intentionally smaller than tmux. It keeps long-running PTY sessions alive, lets clients detach and reattach at will, forwards terminal escape sequences unchanged, and translates the tmux command subset commonly used by terminal-first agent tooling.

**Security model:** `lterm` is a same-user convenience daemon, not a sandbox. It rejects cross-user Unix-socket peers and uses owner-only runtime directories, but any process running as your OS user should be considered capable of controlling your sessions.
