Superlogical, the new company founded by Ghostty creator and HashiCorp co-founder Mitchell Hashimoto, has opened public testing for Rex, a terminal product positioned as a direct replacement for existing terminal apps. The product centers on persistent sessions and remote connections, allowing tasks to keep running even after the terminal window is closed. Users can reopen the session later or continue work from another device.
Rex had previously been tested in a private group of about 50 people. The first public beta is limited to macOS, with invites distributed in batches through a waitlist. Superlogical said terminal sessions are stored in the background rather than depending on an open client window. The macOS app can preserve local sessions and also connect to Rex running on other machines.
The company also said Rex includes a CLI, Lua support, and a server API for creating sessions, splitting panes, launching programs, reading terminal output, and controlling the terminal through scripts. Superlogical said Rex will remain free, with neither the client nor the server directly charged, and users will not need an account. The company added that the product can be fully self-hosted and that it will not view or share user data. Linux and Windows servers are already able to run Rex, while iOS, Linux, and Windows clients are still in development and are not part of the current test round.
Superlogical, the new company founded by Ghostty creator and HashiCorp co-founder Mitchell Hashimoto, has started public testing for Rex, a new terminal product.
Rex is described as a direct replacement for existing terminal applications, with persistent sessions and remote connections as its main focus. Tasks can continue running after the terminal is closed, and users can resume work later by reopening the terminal or switching to another device.
Before this launch, Rex had only gone through a private test with about 50 people. The first public beta is available only on macOS, and invitations will be sent out in batches based on the waitlist.
According to the company, Rex stores terminal sessions in the background rather than relying on the client window to stay open. The macOS app can keep local sessions on its own and can also connect to Rex running on other machines.
Rex also includes a CLI, Lua, and a server API. Those tools can be used to create sessions, split panes, start programs, read terminal content, and control the terminal directly with scripts.
On pricing and deployment, Superlogical said Rex will remain free and that neither the client nor the server will be directly charged. Users will not need to create an account, and the product can be fully self-hosted. The company also said it will not view or share user data.
Linux and Windows servers can already run Rex. Clients for iOS, Linux, and Windows are still in development and have not been added to the current beta. Superlogical has not disclosed a specific commercialization plan and said it will explain that part before the official release.
