I started building Kairos because I kept noticing how much of a developer's workflow happens outside the place where they actually write code. Chat apps, file sharing, system monitoring, and other tools mean more windows, more context switching, and more resources consumed in the background. That feels especially unnecessary when you're working on a low-end laptop. So I wanted to explore a different approach: what if collaboration lived directly in the terminal? Kairos started as a room-based CLI chat app and grew into real-time messaging, file sharing, and system monitoring. It's still evolving, and I want to keep pushing the idea of making the terminal a place where developers can do more with less. Would love to hear what you'd want a terminal-native collaboration tool to support next.
