The terminal built for coding agents.
Run your coding agents side by side. Keep terminals, an editor, and a live browser in one workspace, with shells that keep running after you quit.

Available for Windows 10/11 and macOS (Apple silicon). Linux support is pending. Builds are not yet code-signed; read the installation guide for the Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper warnings before your first launch.
Coding agents, an editor, and a live browser — together in one workspace.

Dracula and Monokai are examples of VS Code themes installed through TermHQ’s integrated marketplace, not the full set of available themes. You can also choose other built-in themes or create your own. Explore theming.
TermHQ is a local-first terminal workspace for parallel work. Give each agent its own pane, keep your preview beside the code, and review changes without leaving the project. Named workspaces keep your projects organized. When a busy pane goes quiet, a waiting list in the status bar helps you find it again; native notifications get your attention when TermHQ is in the background.
Use the shells and coding agents you already have installed. TermHQ does not bundle agent CLIs or replace their accounts and subscriptions. The built-in editor handles edits and reviews alongside your terminals; you can keep using your preferred IDE too.
- Tiling panes — arrange terminals, editors, and browsers in a grid or columns. Resize by dragging boundaries, move panes with the keyboard, focus one fullscreen, or stash a terminal while it keeps running.
- Persistent sessions — close TermHQ and reconnect to running shells with recent output when you return. Each workspace remembers its layout and working directories. No separate terminal multiplexer is needed.
- Agent launchers — start installed tools such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Antigravity in a terminal, folder, or worktree. Customize agent commands and flags in Settings.
- Browser panes — keep a live site or local preview beside your terminals, with an address bar and developer tools. See the browser guide for platform differences.
- Editor panes — edit files in tabs, preview Markdown, and recover unsaved text after a crash. Save prompts and external-change warnings help protect your work.
- Language assistance — get completion, diagnostics, navigation, and formatting from language servers you install and configure for your projects.
- Source control — review diffs, stage files or individual hunks, commit, browse history, manage branches and stashes, and sync with your remote. Resolve merge conflicts directly in the editor, or copy a briefing for an agent.
- Worktrees — keep parallel branches in separate working folders. Track checkouts across chosen repositories and open a terminal or agent in the right one.
- Local voice dictation — dictate into a terminal with transcription on your machine. Download or import a speech model in Settings → Voice when you want to use it; dictation is optional.
- Themes and shortcuts — choose a built-in theme, install VS Code color and icon themes from Open VSX, and rebind shortcuts to fit your workflow.
- Recovery and updates — undo an accidental terminal close during the brief undo window. Check for app updates in Settings and choose when to install them.
By default, shells keep running after you close TermHQ. Restarting your computer or installing an app update stops running commands and agents; your layout and working directories return with fresh shells. See persistent sessions for the settings and recovery details.
- Download and install TermHQ for your platform.
- Open a terminal in your project and run your installed coding agent, or use the agent launcher in the pane header.
- Add terminals, an editor, or a browser pane alongside it. Organize each project in a named workspace; TermHQ remembers its layout for your return.

Bug reports and feature requests belong in this repository's Issues. Please include your OS and version, the TermHQ version, and what you expected to happen.
TermHQ runs locally, and voice transcription happens on your machine. Speech models are downloaded only when you request them; the app works without one. Theme and icon downloads from Open VSX are also optional.
Local-first does not mean offline-only: browser panes connect to the sites you open, and coding agents use their own services and privacy policies. Automatic update checks can be turned off in Settings → General → Updates.
This is TermHQ's user-facing home: the website, the documentation, the changelog, and the releases. The application source is maintained privately and is not published here.
Licensing is not final. A license file will be added to this repository; until then, the releases are free to download and use as they are.
