Project Tabs

Omniscribe lets you open multiple projects at the same time using tabs. Each tab is a fully independent workspace with its own sessions, theme, and configuration.

Opening Projects​

There are two ways to add a project tab:

  • Click the + button in the tab bar to open a folder picker
  • Open a project folder from the welcome view or recent projects list

Each project opens in its own tab. You can have as many tabs open as you need.

Switching Tabs​

  • Click a tab to switch to it
  • Keyboard: press Cmd/Ctrl + 1 through Cmd/Ctrl + 9 to jump to a tab by position

Closing Tabs​

  • Keyboard: press Cmd/Ctrl + W to close the active tab
  • Mouse: click the close button on the tab
info

Closing a tab stops all running sessions in that project. You will be prompted to confirm if sessions are still active.

Tab Reordering​

Drag and drop tabs to rearrange them. The new order persists across app restarts.

Tab Status Indicators​

Each tab displays a colored status indicator reflecting the aggregate state of its sessions:

  • Working -- at least one session is actively running
  • Needs input -- a session is waiting for your response
  • Idle -- all sessions are idle or no sessions are running

This lets you monitor progress across multiple projects without switching tabs.

Independent Workspaces​

Each project tab is fully isolated:

  • Sessions -- each tab has its own session grid and pre-launch slots
  • Theme -- each tab can use a different UI theme (set in Settings > Appearance)
  • Terminal output -- switching between tabs preserves all terminal content; nothing is lost

Recent Projects​

Omniscribe remembers your recently opened projects across restarts. When you launch the app, the welcome view shows your project history so you can reopen previous projects with a single click.
