Terminal focus

Jump back to the session that asked.

When an agent needs input, Masko helps you return to the relevant terminal or app instead of searching through tabs.

Focus behavior uses the source information the integration provides.

From attention to action

The notification remembers where it came from.

Agent, session, terminal process, and application details are used when available to choose the best return path.

01
Exact session when possible
Use available process and session identity to target the originating surface.
02
Application fallback
Focus the relevant terminal or agent app when an exact tab cannot be addressed.
03
Native prompt preserved
The agent remains responsible for input that must stay in its own interface.

How it works

One click back to context.

The route depends on what the terminal, IDE, and agent expose on the Mac.

Masko focuses the best known source so you can answer in context.

In practice

Designed for a mixed Mac toolchain.

Masko can work with common terminals and editors, while exact-tab behavior depends on application support.

Terminal applications

Terminal.app, iTerm2, Ghostty, Kitty, WezTerm, Alacritty, Warp, and other supported paths.

Editors and agent apps

Cursor, VS Code variants, Zed, and agent-owned desktop surfaces can receive focus.

Honest fallback

When exact targeting is unavailable, Masko focuses the application instead of claiming more precision.

AI agents

Your mascot keeps watch over your AI agents.

01Know when an agent needs you.
See when Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, Kimi Code, or Hermes is working, waiting, or done.
02Keep the work moving.
Approve a supported command or answer a question through your mascot.
03Jump to the right session.
Return to the exact terminal or app without hunting through tabs.

Questions

The practical bits.

Can Masko always focus the exact terminal tab?

No. Exact targeting depends on process and application support. Masko falls back to the relevant app when needed.

Does terminal focus answer the prompt?

No. It returns you to the prompt. Direct responses are a separate integration capability.

Does it work with Cursor?

Masko can focus Cursor when its native interface owns the interaction.

Why is the wrong app sometimes focused?

Multiple sessions and incomplete process information can reduce precision. Integration health and terminal permissions should be checked.

Which Macs can run Masko?

Masko Desktop supports macOS 14 or newer.
