What's inside
Everything a project needs,
nothing it doesn't.
AGENTS

AI agents, on tap

Spawn Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or any CLI agent as a live PTY session. Run as many as you want, side by side, each in its own tab.

TERMINAL

Real shells, no compromise

Full PTY terminals — vim, htop, and TUIs all work. Copy-on-select, resize forwarding, and unlimited sessions that stay alive in the background.

COMMANDS

Saved commands that just run

Reusable shell commands with {{VAR}} prompts, categories, and auto-restart for dev servers. Make them global to use across every project.

EDITOR

Monaco, built right in

The VS Code engine, 200+ languages, IntelliSense, multi-file tabs with dirty state, and a live file tree that refreshes on disk changes. Never leave the window.

Where it goes further
SoloTerm said “not an IDE.”
PAUITerm says why not both?
PAUITerm keeps everything that makes a per-project terminal great — then folds a real editor inside, so you never have to leave the window.
