Codex powers integrated chats. Other CLI agents run in terminal panes.
From the first prompt to the last check
The conversation is
only part of the work.
You still need the shell, the files, and a way to see what changed. Keep them beside your agent, with room to work your way.
See the work beside it.
Open source, Markdown, and images from a reply. Keep your dev server in a real shell. Split panes or stack tabs to fit the task in front of you.

More of your work.
Within reach.
Here’s what’s changed since v0.1.1. These features are in the current development build and are not yet in the public download.
Find the chat.
Pick up the thread.
Search saved Codex conversations across folders. Open one beside your terminal, read its history, and resume in its original project.
Archive and restore conversations without losing the history.
Your instructions.
Ready for the task.
Browse shared and project skills in their own sidebar. Read the instructions in a Markdown pane, enable the skills you need, and add one to your agent’s prompt.
A shared library across projects, with project-specific instructions kept in context.
Less searching.
More context.
Read a document beside the shell that produced it. Follow project files from the sidebar and inspect Git changes in the file viewer’s diff mode.
Read-only viewers keep review close to your terminal editor or coding agent.
Navigate long chats
Jump between prompts with the conversation rail, preview earlier inputs, and rewind a Codex chat from a previous prompt.
Local apps, one click away
Your local apps now live in the sidebar. Open your dev server’s URL alongside the rest of your project.
Share a file from S3
Create an expiring link for an individual S3 file, alongside server-side uploads, downloads, and folder transfers.
Make the whole app yours
New coordinated palettes carry through terminals, conversations, sidebars, and Git status colors.

- Responsive chat, files, and terminal controls
- Extra terminal keys on touch screens
- Install as a PWA for a dedicated app window
Remote access needs HTTPS setup. A host reboot or container replacement ends running shells; saved files and resumable history need persistent storage.
On your terms
Your tools.
Your own machine.

Installation guideNo Go or Node.js needed. For built-in agent chats, install Codex and sign in on the host separately.
What exactly is JustTerminal?
A browser workspace you run on your own machine or server. It brings real shell sessions, Codex conversations, and project file viewers together. You use your existing terminal tools, editor, and agent accounts.
Can I use Claude Code or another agent?
Yes, run Claude Code or another command-line agent in any terminal pane. Integrated chat, independent agents, and the upcoming saved-chat browser use Codex installed and signed in on the host.
Does closing the browser stop my work?
No. Shell processes stay on the host when the browser disconnects. Reconnect to the current screen and scrollback. A host reboot or container replacement does end those processes. Persistent storage keeps files, settings, and resumable agent history.
Are all the features here in the download?
The public download is v0.1.1. The “Next release” section and October screenshots preview the current development build. Saved-chat browsing, the shared skills library, prompt rewind, sidebar app access, S3 share links, and the newer themes are not in v0.1.1. Check release notes for published updates.
What should I know about macOS and Windows?
macOS builds are unsigned and not notarized; follow the installation notes. Windows requires WSL2 and uses a Linux archive. There is no native Windows executable.
Is the source repository public?
The application repository is currently private. Downloads, documentation, and issue reporting are public through just-terminal-docs. Building from source requires collaborator access.
