About

Hi HN. I built Waffle because I kept ending up with 15 terminal windows scattered across three spaces with no idea what was running where.<p>Splitting&#x2F;merging in iTerm kind of works but it never felt intuitive to me.<p>With that in mind, I built something to suit my workflow:<p>Waffle is a native macOS terminal (Built on Miguel de Icaza&#x27;s SwiftTerm) that tiles your sessions into an auto-scaling grid automatically. 1 session is fullscreen, 2 is side by side, 4 is 2x2, 9 is 3x3. Open a terminal, it joins the grid. Close one, the grid rebalances. No splitting, no config.<p>I&#x27;ve been using it a lot recently and one thing I&#x27;ve found really useful is that sessions detect which repo they&#x27;re in and group accordingly. Each project gets a distinct colour. Cmd+[ and Cmd+] flip between groups. If you have three repos open across eight terminals, you can filter to just one project&#x27;s sessions instantly. Also, no accidentally closing a window with CMD-W as it gives you a confirmation and requires a second CMD-W to close.<p>Honestly, if you live in tmux, this probably isn&#x27;t for you but it&#x27;s really helped to speed up my workflow.<p>Other things: It comes with a handful of themes (and has support for iTerm themes), bundled JetBrains mono, has keyboard shortcuts for everything. Free, no account, opt-in analytics only. macOS 14+.<p>There&#x27;s a demo on the landing page if you want to see it in action.

AI Score Reasoning

Waffle is a polished productivity utility with strong UX for a specific developer niche, but it currently functions more as a feature-set than a venture-scale business. It faces significant headwinds due to intense competition from well-funded incumbents like Warp and established open-source tools like iTerm2, with no clear path to monetization or a defensible moat.
