# Fanout

> Open a terminal in each of your repos with your coding agent already running, tiled side by side.

**Fanout** triggers one **profile** and Dax opens a terminal in each of its
repos with your coding agent already running, tiled side by side — a whole dev
setup in one keystroke. Works fully offline.

## Open it

Press <kbd>⌃</kbd> <kbd>⌥</kbd> <kbd>D</kbd> from any app.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Build a profile">
    In **Settings → Tools → Fanout**, name your profile and add the repos you
    work on together. Drag folders in or use **Add Repos…**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a profile">
    Press <kbd>⌃</kbd> <kbd>⌥</kbd> <kbd>D</kbd> and choose a profile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Work across repos">
    Dax opens **one terminal per repo**, `cd`s into each, starts your agent,
    and **tiles the new windows** across the screen.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Per-profile options

* **Agent command** — what runs in every repo's terminal (defaults to `claude`;
  pick from the Agents menu or type your own). Each repo can override it.
* **YOLO** — add the agent's skip-permissions flag.
* **Also skip Claude's folder-trust prompt** — mark each folder trusted so
  Claude drops straight in (a backup of `~/.claude.json` is saved first).
* **Arrange** — how the new windows are tiled (e.g. side by side). Tiling uses
  Dax's existing Accessibility access and **falls back to just opening the
  terminals** if it can't place them.

## Privacy

Entirely local. It opens terminals and runs your chosen command on your Mac;
nothing is sent anywhere.
