Terax

About Terax

Terax is a terminal-first, AI-native development workspace that packs a terminal, editor, source control, AI agents, and a live web preview into one pane, in under 10 MB on disk with roughly a 300 ms cold start and no Electron. The terminal is xterm.js with a WebGL renderer, multi-tab, a file explorer with keyboard navigation, and ripgrep-speed project-wide search. The editor has real Vim mode with motions, registers, and marks, context-aware AI autocomplete, sub-millisecond keystroke latency, and prebuilt themes, with no language-server setup required. Source control is a proper Git surface — hunk-level stage, unstage, and discard, commit with Cmd+Enter, upstream-aware push, a commit graph showing branches, merges, and refs, and commit search that jumps to the remote page. The AI layer runs multi-agents and sub-agents that browse files, run commands, and propose changes, with every edit landing in a reviewable inline diff before it touches disk; a TERAX.md file holds per-project memory and config versioned in your repo, snippets and skills define composable callable workflows, and voice input lets you talk to agents while coding. Web preview auto-detects dev servers including Vite, Next, and Astro and opens them as a tab beside the editor with hot reload, and plans, tasks, and TODOs are tracked in-app so agents can resume where they left off. It is BYOK or fully local through LM Studio, with ten editor themes, ten app palettes, custom in-app themes exportable as JSON, and a background image with opacity and blur. Apache-2.0, no telemetry ever, no account or signup, with SHA256 checksums published on every release for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
