Ghost Sync explained: picking up mid-sentence on another device
Continuity is not file sync. A look at how session state, window layout and cursor position travel between a laptop, a tablet and a borrowed machine.

File sync solved documents fifteen years ago. It never solved work. Opening the same file on a second machine still means rebuilding the context around it: the other six windows, the terminal, the scroll position, the thought you were halfway through.
State, not files
Because the workspace itself is remote and always running, moving devices is not a transfer at all — it is a re-attach. Ghost Sync is the layer that makes the re-attach feel instant: it hands the new client the current layout and focus state so the first painted frame is already the workspace you left.
- Detach on one device, re-attach on another with no save step.
- Layout, focus and input mode follow the session, not the machine.
- Every attach is an auditable event tied to a registered device.
The security side of continuity
Convenience of this kind is only acceptable when revocation is equally instant. Devices are registered, attaches are logged, and pulling a device's access ends its stream immediately — no waiting for a token to age out.
