Introduction

Termio is a native Mac app that gives your AI coding agents a home. Instead of juggling agents across scattered terminal tabs, you run them side by side — each in a real terminal — and switch between them instantly. Everything runs on hardware you own: this Mac, or a box you can ssh to.

What Termio gives you

• A real terminal per agent. Claude Code, Codex, Amp, Droid, Cursor, Copilot, Antigravity, Crush, Cline and the rest each run in a genuine PTY — not a re-rendered chat log. What you’d see in iTerm is exactly what you see here.
• A sidebar of sessions. Every agent and shell is one click away. Statuses update live, so you can see which agent is working, which is idle, and which needs your attention.
• Split panes. Put an agent, a dev server, and a shell in the same window, arranged the way you think.
• Any machine you own. A workspace can live on a VPS or the Mac mini across the room. Termio copies one binary there over SSH and sets up the agents; the sessions run on that box and keep running whether or not you’re attached.
• A built-in inspector. Browse the working directory, edit files with syntax highlighting, read the git diff, and search across the project — all without leaving the window.
• An orchestration API. The termio sessions CLI lets one agent — or your scripts — spawn siblings, answer their prompts, and supervise the fleet over a local socket, with pinned JSON shapes and honest exit codes.
• Your phone as a remote. Pair the iPhone app once and check in on a running session from anywhere, over your own network or a tunnel you control.

Local-first, always

Termio has no account and no sign-in. Your terminals, code and agent conversations never pass through servers of ours — there are none in the product’s data path. Reaching another machine goes through the system ssh and your own ~/.ssh/config; Termio provisions nothing and relays nothing. The agents you run talk to their own providers under your own accounts, exactly as they would from a plain terminal.

Termio is free to use — no account, no license keys, no payment backend.

Pick your path

Most people arrive here for one of three reasons. Start where you actually are:

Or let an agent read the docs for you

You already have a coding agent. These docs are published in a form it can read directly, so you can hand it the setup instead of doing it yourself:

Read https://termio.sh/llms.txt and then help me set up Termio for my project.

Every page also answers with plain Markdown at its own URL, and llms-full.txt is the whole set in one file — so an agent can answer from the docs rather than improvising.
