Views
Code, Browser, Docs, Kanban and more, open beside your agents.
Views open in a panel to the right of your sessions, so you can read code, test a page, or plan work while your agents keep going on the left.
Open a view
- Click the view panel button at the right end of the header, or press Cmd+Option+B.
- With nothing open, the panel lists every view you can open. Press a view’s letter to open it: C Code, B Browser, K Kanban, U Automate, D Files, T Terminal, W Work.
- The + after the last tab opens another view or a new browser tab. Hidden here in the same menu brings back a view you hid in this project.
Each project remembers its own tabs. Press Option+1 to Option+9 to jump between them. Drag the divider to change the width.
The buttons at the end of the tab strip pop the view out into its own window, or expand it over your sessions (Cmd+Ctrl+E). The + joined to the expand button expands it fully, hiding the sidebar too (Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+E).
Tab menu
Right-click a view tab for:
- Reload, Sleep (unloads it but keeps its tab) and Open externally.
- Pin tab: shrinks it to its icon at the left of the row.
- Show in > This Project or This Space: untick one to hide the view there and keep it everywhere else.
- Configure: change a website view’s home page.
- Close tab.
Browser pages sit in the same row as the views, one tab per page, and you can drag any tab anywhere in it.

More views
Ghostex also has views for GitHub (opens automatically for GitHub projects), Linear, Jira, Sentry, Figma, Vercel, Supabase, GitHub Actions, PostHog, and any website you like (Custom Website). Turn them on in Settings > Extensions > Store, then paste the page you want as the view’s home. A Storybook view appears on its own when a project has Storybook. With Workspaces on, the Work view lists your tickets and pull requests; see Workspaces and Work mode.
The pencil on a view’s card in the Store chooses where it shows: everywhere, or only in some projects and Spaces.
Views you don’t use sleep on their own, so they don’t slow anything down.
