## What it is
TUIOS is a modern terminal multiplexer and tiling window manager written in Go, built on the Charm stack (Bubble Tea v2). It provides vim-like modal controls, workspaces, BSP tiling, persistent daemon-backed sessions, kitty graphics passthrough, and tape scripting for automation.

## Use cases
- manage multiple terminal sessions with panes and workspaces
- tmux alternative with vim keybindings
- tile terminal windows automatically with BSP layouts
- detach and reattach persistent terminal sessions via a daemon
- record and replay terminal workflows with a scripting DSL
- display images and video inside the terminal via kitty graphics protocol
- share terminal sessions over SSH with multiple clients

## When to choose
- you want a modern, actively developed tmux alternative with vim-style modal controls
- you need workspaces, tiling layouts, and a command palette in the terminal
- you want persistent sessions that survive daemon restarts and multi-client attach
- you need kitty graphics/image passthrough in a compatible terminal
- you want scriptable, automatable terminal window management

## When to avoid
- you just need simple tmux-style split panes and prefer a battle-tested minimal tool
- your terminal lacks true color support or kitty graphics protocol
- you rely on tmux/iTerm2-specific integrations or plugins
- you need a GUI window manager rather than a terminal-based one
