The AI coding terminal

Every AI. One terminal. Free.

Run Claude Code, Copilot, Aider, Gemini and more side by side across every project — with usage tracking, personas, and sessions that survive restarts. Free forever on your desktop. Go Pro for remote VPS terminals, or Team to run it across your company.

Works with Claude Code · Copilot · Aider · Gemini · Codex · OpenCode

ai-terminal --free

The whole terminal, free forever

The desktop app is free with no seat limits and no trials. Bring your own AI keys, keep your code on your machine, and open as many projects and terminals as you want.

// pluggable

Every AI CLI

Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Aider, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode — or add your own. Switch tools per terminal without losing your place.

// persistent

Sessions survive restarts

A detached PTY daemon keeps every session alive across reloads and updates. Close the app, reopen it, and your agents are still running.

// unlimited

Projects & terminals

Run a whole fleet at once — one project per client, one terminal per task. No cap, no upsell to open the next one.

// metered

Usage & cost tracking

See tokens and dollars per model, per project, over time — read straight from your real session transcripts, not estimated.

// reusable

Personas & templates

Save the prompts and system roles you reach for, then fire them into one terminal or fan them out to all of them at once.

// private

Yours, on your machine

The server binds to loopback only and your keys live in an encrypted local vault. Nothing leaves your Mac unless you send it somewhere.

ai-terminal --pro

Take it off the desk

Pro is for one developer who wants more than a single machine: run agents on your own server, and check in from your phone once the companion app lands.

VPS support

Remote terminals over SSH

Point a terminal at your own VPS and it runs there — the AI works next to your code and compute, not on your laptop. Reconnects and restores like a local one.

  • Any SSH host you own
  • Browse & pick the remote folder
  • Relaunches your tool on reconnect
Mobile companion in development

Your terminals in your pocket

Watch running agents, read output and send a prompt from your phone — kick off a long job at your desk, steer it from the train. Not shipped yet: it is being built next, and the roadmap below is honest about that.

  • Live session view
  • Send prompts on the go
  • Push when a run finishes
ai-terminal --team

Run it across a company

Team is Pro for everyone, plus the parts a company needs. Per-member logins and per-project access work today — the org controls below are on the roadmap, and each one is labelled.

Invite people to the projects you choose works today

Give each teammate their own login and grant them specific VPS projects. They open terminals only where you allow, you watch their sessions live, and access is revoked the moment they leave — no shared passwords, no orphaned keys.

// billing

Centralized billing on the roadmap

One invoice for the whole org instead of chasing individual card receipts. Add and remove seats and the bill follows.

// directory

User & role management on the roadmap

An admin console for who's on the team and what they can reach. Assign roles, group by project, change access in one place.

// sso

SSO / SAML on the roadmap

Sign in through your identity provider. People use the company login they already have — no separate account to manage or forget.

// audit

Audit logs on the roadmap

A record of who opened which terminal, on which host, and when. Export it for review when someone asks who did what.

// policy

Security policies on the roadmap

Set org-wide rules: which hosts are allowed, session timeouts, and required approvals — enforced for everyone, not left to each person.

// lifecycle

One-click on/offboarding on the roadmap

Add a new hire to the right projects in seconds; cut a departing one off from all of them just as fast. Access never lingers.

What's free, and what's coming

The desktop terminal is free forever. The paid tiers are being shaped with our first pilot teams, so we're not publishing numbers we'd have to change — book a demo and we'll talk through what you need.

ai-terminal --help

Questions, answered plainly

Is the terminal actually free?

Yes — the desktop app is free forever, with no seat limits, trials, or feature gates on the core terminal. You only pay if you want the Pro add-ons: remote VPS terminals and, once it ships, the mobile companion — or the Team layer.

Which AI tools does it work with?

Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Aider, Gemini, Codex, and OpenCode ship as built-in presets, and you can register any other CLI you use. Each terminal can run a different tool.

Do I need my own API keys?

Yes. You bring your own accounts and keys for whichever AI tools you use — the terminal orchestrates them, it doesn't resell tokens. Keys are stored in an encrypted local vault, never in plain text.

Is my code private?

The server runs on loopback only, so nothing is exposed to your network by default. Your projects stay on your machine. With Pro's remote terminals, work runs on a VPS you own and control.

What's the difference between Pro and Team?

Pro is for one developer — it adds remote VPS terminals to the free desktop, with a mobile companion in development. Team is for a group: everything in Pro for everyone, plus shared projects, centralized billing, SSO, audit logs, security policies, user management, and one-click on/offboarding — the controls a company needs to keep access accountable.

Do you support SSO and audit logs?

Not yet — both are on the Team roadmap and we won't pretend otherwise. What works today is per-member logins with per-project access grants that you can revoke, and live view of a member's session. SSO/SAML, an exportable audit log and org-wide policies are what we're building next with our first pilot teams; if they're a hard requirement for you, tell us on a call and we'll be straight about timing.

What does it cost?

The desktop terminal is free forever, and that isn't a trial. We haven't published numbers for the paid tiers yet — they're being shaped with our first pilot teams, and we'd rather quote you something real than post a placeholder we'd have to change. Book a demo and we'll talk about your setup.

Is the mobile app available?

Not yet — it's in development, and this page says so wherever it's mentioned. Everything else described here runs today on the desktop app.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancelling drops you back to the free desktop terminal — which keeps working exactly as before. Your local sessions and projects are never held hostage.
