| Fact | Shpool | Zellij |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | Shpool runs on Linux and macOS; Linux is the primary supported platform, and some macOS tests do not pass. | Prebuilt binaries are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows; the web client supports browser access, including from phones. |
| Purpose | Shpool creates named persistent shell sessions that survive dropped connections. | Zellij is a terminal workspace for developers, operations oriented users, and others who use the terminal. |
Shpool suits people who want persistent shell sessions without terminal multiplexing features. It is intended for Linux, macOS, SSH, and command-line workflows.
Zellij suits terminal users who want organized panes, restorable sessions, or browser-based session sharing. It may also fit teams that need layouts they can automate and share.
