termany is an open source, agent-native terminal application from the thinkany-ai project.

Use Cases ▼
01

Run multiple coding agent sessions side by side in one terminal window

02

See which agent job has finished and which one needs input before switching panes

03

Review diffs produced by agents working in separate git worktrees

04

Manage ports for dev servers and other processes launched inside agent panes

05

Monitor and drive agent sessions running on remote hosts

06

Keep long-running agent jobs visible while continuing other terminal work

What Problem It Solves ▼

Developers running several coding agents in parallel typically rely on separate terminal windows or generic multiplexers, where pane status is inferred only from the shell prompt and cannot tell you whether an agent job is still running, finished, or blocked awaiting input. termany addresses this by tracking job-level state per pane and surfacing working, done, and needs-attention statuses, so users can spot the session that requires their attention without polling every window.

Key Features ▼
✓

Pane status is derived from the running job rather than from shell prompt parsing

✓

Single-window management of many concurrent agent sessions

✓

Includes diff, git worktree, and port handling tailored to agent workflows

✓

Supports remote hosts

✓

Open source

Overview

termany is an open source, agent-native terminal application from the thinkany-ai project. Unlike a conventional terminal multiplexer, it is designed around running many AI agent sessions inside a single window, with each pane representing an independent agent job.

Full Description ▼

The distinguishing feature is how pane status is derived: termany tags each pane as working, done, or needs-attention based on the state of the running job rather than by parsing the shell prompt. This makes it possible to see at a glance which agents are still busy, which have finished, and which are waiting on user input.

The tool also bundles workflow features common to agent-driven development, including diff viewing, git worktree handling, port management for processes started inside panes, and support for remote hosts. These aim to reduce the manual window and branch juggling that usually accompanies running several coding agents in parallel.

termany is distributed as an open source project via its GitHub repository at thinkany-ai/termany and is positioned explicitly as an "Agent-Native Terminal."
