Welcome to Matrix

Matrix is the terminal chassis — green-on-black, monospace fonts, ASCII flourishes. It's for people who think in shells, prefer keyboard to mouse, and would rather see a command prompt than a chat bubble.

What's where

  • Top bar: monospace title bar showing the active session, model, and a > _ prompt indicator. Right side: History, the palette button (chassis picker), [ ? ] help, [ X ] sign out.
  • Main panel: terminal-style chat with [USER] and [ASSISTANT] prefixes. Code blocks are unstyled — they look like the surrounding text.
  • Status line at bottom: model name, token cost, response time.
  • Bottom dock: floats at bottom-center — Chat, Studios, Splicer, Agents, Vault, and More. Usage, API keys, providers, settings and admin (if you have it) live under More. On a phone the dock is a tab bar across the bottom.
  • History: the History button in the top bar slides your sessions in over the main panel, with ops listed above them.

What it's good for

Matrix shines when you're doing code-heavy work, debugging, or anything where the visual chrome of other chassis would feel overdone. Output is dense and uniform — you can read 50 lines of code in a chat bubble without scrolling. Stop button is a literal [ STOP ]. Streaming is character-by-character with a blinking cursor.
