terminalOS — Product Overview

Terminal workspace built for AI-assisted development.

Who It's For

Professionals who run AI coding agents daily and feel the friction:

  • Multiple VSCode windows open for different projects
  • No visibility into how many tokens a session consumed
  • Switching context between terminal, notes, and docs

Core Features

Multi-Pane Terminal

Split the screen horizontally or vertically — as many panes as needed. Each pane is an independent shell session. Layouts are saved automatically and restored on next launch. Panes can be minimized to a thin strip to save space.

Multi-Workspace Tabs

Each tab is a fully independent workspace with its own pane layout. Name tabs by project. Switch between them without losing terminal state.

AI Process Detection

terminalOS detects when Claude Code, OpenCode, Aider, or Continue is running inside a pane — no config needed. A colored badge appears on the pane header identifying which AI tool is active.

Token Tracking

Parses token usage directly from AI CLI output in real time. Shows:

  • Session tokens — tokens used in the focused pane since launch
  • Workspace tokens — total tokens across all panes in the active tab

Includes cost estimation in USD based on detected model (Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku).

Integrated Markdown Editor

Open a markdown editor alongside the terminal — no need to leave the app. Features:

  • Split view with live preview
  • File browser with folder navigation
  • Create / rename files and folders
  • Token count per file (estimates LLM cost to load it)
  • Syntax highlighting for code files (25+ languages)
  • Auto-save with manual override (⌘S)
  • PDF export from markdown
  • Automatic version history — every save creates a snapshot; browse, compare, and restore any previous version from the editor sidebar (up to 50 versions per file, stored locally)

14 Themes

Includes Dracula, Tokyo Night, Nord, Gruvbox, Catppuccin, Rosé Pine, Solarized, and more. Live preview before applying.

Smart Status Bar

The status bar surfaces live context without interrupting focus:

  • Git status — current branch and dirty-state indicator updated in real time
  • App version — running build version detected automatically at startup
  • Component versions — each integrated component reports its version without any configuration

Command Palette

⌘K to launch any command: split pane, new workspace, open folder, launch Claude Code / OpenCode / Aider, open settings.

Quick AI Launchers

⌘⇧C launches Claude Code in the active pane. ⌘⇧O launches OpenCode. No typing required.

What It Replaces

Before With terminalOS
Downloading and installing a terminal app Run instantly with npx terminalos in the browser
Terminal locked to one machine/OS Works in any browser, any OS, zero setup
No token visibility Per-session and per-workspace token count
Markdown notes in separate app Editor integrated next to the terminal
Manually typing claude / aider to start AI One shortcut per AI tool
No context on which pane is running AI Live badge per pane
No edit history for notes / context files Automatic version history with restore
No visibility into git state inside the app Branch + dirty state in the status bar

Platform

Browser-based — works on any OS (macOS, Windows, Linux) without installation.

npx terminalos

terminalOS starts a local server on your machine and opens in your default browser automatically. No app to download, no installer to run. Everything runs locally — your terminal sessions, token data, and files never leave your machine.
