Get started with Even.

Even is the agent-native workspace. Install it once, split a few panes, pin the folders you live in, and put an agent to work on the browser beside your terminal. This page walks the whole thing.

Even is a small native app built on Tauri for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It puts splittable terminals, an in-app browser, pinned folders and sessions, and your apps in one window. The headline trick: a terminal agent can drive that in-app browser and report back, all in the same view.

Install

Grab the build for your operating system from the Download page, open it, and Even launches into your workspace. There is nothing else to wire up. Once installed, it updates itself.

  • macOS, Windows, and Linux all have native builds. The Download page picks the right one for your system.
  • Because Even is built on Tauri rather than a bundled browser engine, the app is tiny and launches fast.

Panes and splits

Everything in Even lives in panes. Split the focused pane to put two things side by side, then keep going until your window matches how you work.

Split left / rightCmdD
Split top / bottomCmdShiftD
Close the focused paneCmdShiftW

Drag the dividers to resize. Each terminal keeps its own shell, scrollback, and working directory, so two panes in the same project never step on each other.

Windows and Linux: use Ctrl wherever this page says Cmd.

Workspaces and pinning

Pin the folders and sessions you reach for most. When you reopen Even it restores your panes, your paths, and your scrollback, so you land back exactly where you left off.

  • Toggle the left sidebar with Cmd B to show or hide your pinned folders and sessions.
  • Restored state means a fresh launch is the same as the one you closed, not an empty window.

The browser pane

Even ships a real in-app browser, not a link-out. Open it as a pane beside your terminal and it behaves like a browser you already know.

There is an optional adblock shield, off by default, that you can switch on when you want it. The browser pane can be split too, so you can keep a page next to a terminal next to another page.

Agents driving the browser

This is the part Even is built for. A terminal agent, say a coding agent you run in a terminal pane, can navigate the in-app browser, click, read the page, and fill forms, then report back in the terminal. The page reacts right next to where you typed the request.

You wire agents up with two kinds of tooling:

  • Add MCP servers with Cmd Shift M.
  • Add skills with Cmd Shift K.

The flow is simple: you type a task in plain language, the agent calls the browser tools, and the page responds beside your terminal. Watch it work, read what it found, and pick up where it leaves off.

Agents reach further than the browser. From the terminal they can also open files in the code view, work your to-do list (each task carries a status and Markdown notes), and manage the skills and MCP servers wired into them, all in the same window.

Skills and the marketplace

A skill is a SKILL.md file: a short recipe an agent loads and follows, with a description of when to use it and the exact steps. Skills teach your agents how you like things done, and they stay with you across projects.

  • Add or write a skill in-app with Cmd Shift K, then connect it to the agents you want it on (Claude Code, Codex).
  • Agents can author skills, too. Once an agent works out how to do a hard, repeatable task, it can save that as a skill and install it on your chosen agents, so the next run already knows the trick. The same goes for adding an MCP server an agent needs.

Browse skills the community has published on the Skills marketplace, then install any of them straight from Even's Skills tab. Publishing one of your own skills back to the marketplace is a single action.

Every install is inspected first. Before a downloaded skill is added, an agent reviews its SKILL.md for anything unsafe and Even asks you to approve it. Nothing is wired into your agents without your say-so.

Apps

Add an app with Cmd Shift A to bring a tool you use all day into its own pane. Think docs, a dashboard, a git view, or a code view, each sitting next to your terminals instead of in a separate window you keep tabbing to.

Themes and layouts

Even has light and dark themes and follows your OS setting by default. Once a layout feels right, save it and switch between saved layouts as your work changes.

Save the current layoutCmdS
Switch saved layoutsCmd1Cmd4
Zoom in / out / resetCmd=Cmd-Cmd0

Layouts Cmd 1 through Cmd 4 let you keep a few setups on hand, one for a project, one for triage, one for a demo.

Keyboard shortcuts

The combos on this page cover the common moves. The full list lives on the Shortcuts page, and you can press Cmd / inside the app to see them without leaving your window.

Updating

Even checks GitHub releases and updates in the background, so you stay on the latest build without reinstalling each beta. Nothing to manage, it just keeps current.
