Is Runyte worth running as a client service?
The evidence supports Runyte as a focused, open-source terminal workspace that consolidates modal editing, file management, Git, terminals, fuzzy search, persistent sessions, and 26 bundled languages for Linux and macOS. It lacks client management, white-labeling, cloud collaboration, and business-tool integrations, so the agency must supply all pricing, labor, and ROI inputs before making any commercial claim.
An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
