Split terminals with project navigation and a file sidebar

Keep your work together. Organize projects, work side by side, and return to running terminals after closing the app.

Features

  • Projects, tabs, and splits — give each project its own workspace and arrange terminals side by side.
  • Keep work running — close the app and reconnect to your terminals when you reopen it.
  • AI agent alerts — see when an agent needs attention or finishes work, with supported agent hooks enabled.
  • Files and editing — browse project files and open them in Neovim or your preferred editor.
  • Git changes — see changed files and compare staged or working changes side by side.
  • Markdown previews — read formatted documents or edit with a live preview beside your text.
  • Image previews — open images and SVGs, zoom in, or fit them to the window.
  • Terminal search and history — find text in terminal output and revisit past sessions.
  • Make it yours — customize colors, fonts, shortcuts, and your shell.

Get started

  1. Follow the installation and build guide.
  2. Add a project folder using + beside Projects.
  3. Open a terminal tab. Right-click a terminal to split your workspace.
  4. Click a file to open it, or launch your usual tools in the terminal.

For AI agent alerts, open Settings → Agent hooks, enable your agent, then start a fresh agent session inside Terminator. Integrations include Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Muse, and Grok; available alerts vary by agent.

Install Neovim for editing inside the app; Git comparisons need Neovim 0.10 or newer. You can also choose an external editor in Settings.
