About Roost

Roost is a desktop application designed to preserve the state of AI agent workspaces and conversations. When a user quits the application, Roost saves the layout of panes and the positions of tabs within each pane. Upon reopening, the same workspace is restored exactly as it was left, including active AI agent conversations. The tool tracks which session belongs to which tab, ensuring no ambiguity in workspace restoration. It is built as a terminal interface centered around AI agents, allowing users to manage multiple agent interactions simultaneously. Roost is currently available as a free desktop app for Mac.
