ThinkTerm
ThinkTerm is a free, open-source terminal with a built-in multiplexer for running and monitoring many agent sessions.
What ThinkTerm does
It is a terminal with a multiplexer built in, so sessions can be run and managed in one place. Sessions stay on the server, so a person can reconnect from another machine and find their panes where they left them. It shows the status of several coding agents across multiple servers in a single sidebar.
Key features
- Sidebar showing agents across multiple servers with working, idle, or needs-input status
- Live overview of sessions on one screen
- Splits, nested tabs, and a file sidebar in the main window
- Sessions held by the server so they survive reconnects
- Native settings panel for theme, fonts, renderer and diagnostics
- GPU rendering through wgpu with a native Rust core
- Lua-based configuration with WezTerm compatibility import
Pros
Pros
- Available at no cost and open source.
- Sessions persist on the server and can be resumed after reconnecting.
- Built on the WezTerm core, so existing WezTerm features carry over.
