better-agent-terminal

Overview

Better Agent Terminal is an advanced, cross-platform Tauri application designed for developers to manage multiple project workspaces, persistent terminals, and embedded AI coding agents in a single unified window. It includes robust workspace organization, split-panel layouts, a built-in file browser, git viewer, snippet manager, and advanced AI session controls like streaming output, permission levels, subagent tracking, and cache cost monitoring.

Capabilities

• ▸Multi-workspace management with profiles and detachable windows
• ▸Embedded Claude Code and Codex AI agent integration with message streaming
• ▸Flexible permission modes for AI tool execution (default, accept edits, plan mode, bypass)
• ▸Comprehensive session management including resume, fork, pause, and wake
• ▸Real-time status line monitoring for tokens, costs, duration, and API rate limits
• ▸Built-in file browser, markdown preview, and git integration with diff and branch viewers

Best for

Managing multiple concurrent development projects and their associated terminals in one interface, Running and interacting with Claude Code or Codex AI agents directly within isolated project worktrees, Monitoring token usage, cache efficiency, and API rate limits during heavy AI-assisted coding sessions, Browsing files, inspecting git diffs, and managing code snippets without leaving the application window

Works with

Security considerations

The application handles AI agent execution and terminal processes which can interact with local files and systems. Exercise caution with automated permission modes like 'bypass' or 'accept edits'.
