tterm — The Only Window You Need

tterm is a unified workspace that combines a terminal, real browser, and Claude Code into a single, streamlined application. Built as one developer's daily driver and shared freely, it eliminates the friction of juggling multiple windows while keeping your workflow completely private—no accounts, no telemetry, no data phoning home.

Product Highlights

• Integrated Claude Code: Native AI coding assistance built directly into your workspace, with support for multiple simultaneous sessions across different projects.
• Real Browser Engine: Full Chromium browser with your Chrome cookies, bookmarks, and history imported seamlessly—no context switching required.
• Self-Modifying Architecture: Hot-reload features on demand by asking Claude to modify tterm itself while you work; most of the app was built this way.
• Project-Centric Layout: Organize work into stacked "rows"—each containing an explorer, Claude Code pane, and file viewer—for effortless multitasking.
• Smart Git Workflow: Review diffs and stage changes hunk by hunk with ⌘G—no editor needed, just intentional commits.
• Uncompromised Terminal: Only ⌘-chords are intercepted; every Ctrl key reaches the pty untouched for authentic terminal behavior.
• Zero-Friction Privacy: No signups, no tracking, no network calls—just a local tool that respects your data.

Use Cases

• AI-Augmented Development: Use Claude Code sessions to write, refactor, and debug code while simultaneously browsing documentation and managing files in one unified interface.
• Multi-Project Management: Stack multiple project rows to juggle several repositories at once, each with its own isolated Claude context and file exploration.
• Privacy-First Coding: Work confidently knowing no telemetry leaves your machine—ideal for sensitive codebases or developers who reject surveillance capitalism.
• Self-Extending Workflows: Request features from Claude and watch tterm hot-reload with new capabilities, creating a personalized environment that evolves with your needs.

Target Audience

tterm is designed for hobbyist developers and indie makers on Apple Silicon Macs who want a powerful, privacy-respecting workspace without the bloat of modern SaaS tools. It appeals to those comfortable with terminal-centric workflows who also want seamless AI integration and browser access—without surrendering their data or attention to fragmented subscription services.
