A cockpit for parallel development
See every task. Know what needs you.
Organize terminals and AI agents as a live mind map. Run work in parallel, spot waiting or failed tasks instantly, and stay in control without juggling tabs.
Free for personal use · macOS, Windows, and Linux
The problem
One terminal is simple.
Ten parallel tasks are not.
Tabs hide how tasks relate, background agents wait or fail without being noticed, and every context switch asks you to remember what each shell was doing.
Relationships disappear
A row of tabs cannot show which agent, service, test, and deployment belong together.
Attention gets lost
A prompt waiting in the background is easy to miss while work quietly stops.
Context lives in your head
You spend time reconstructing which directory, branch, and task every shell represents.
How it works
Make the whole workflow visible.
TermTree gives each task a place, each place a real terminal, and each terminal a live signal you can understand at a glance.
- 1
Map the work
Arrange tasks by project, service, feature, or goal so their relationships stay visible.
- 2
Run in parallel
Launch shells, servers, tests, scripts, Claude Code, Codex, or any other CLI in the nodes.
- 3
Respond with confidence
See what is active, quiet, waiting, or failed and jump directly to the task that matters.
Attention, directed
Your agents can work in parallel. Your attention cannot.
The map turns terminal activity into a clear attention queue. Scan the whole project or search by task name, then move straight to the work that needs a decision.
Work is producing output.
The terminal is quiet.
A process needs you.
A command failed.
One continuous workflow
Run the work. Find the files. Review the result.
Stay in the same cockpit from the first command to the final review.
Real project. Real commands.
Every task opens a PTY-backed terminal in the right project directory. Run a server, test suite, migration, or agent exactly as you would in your existing shell.
Explore terminals Open the right file without leaving the task.
Browse the current project with Quick Open or follow a path printed in the terminal. Git status markers show which files changed.

Built around the developer
Fast when you need it. Quiet when you do not.
The supporting tools stay close to the workflow without becoming another system to manage.
Keyboard-driven flow
Move between the map, terminals, and editor without breaking concentration.
