Real desktop transparency

See your workspace. Keep your focus.

Not a flat dark theme with a glass label. Your wallpaper, editor and agent workspace remain visibly present behind the terminal.

✦ Claude Code

I can still see the editor context behind this terminal.

Transparency stays cinematic without losing contrast.

AGENT READYBLUR 18PXZSH
01Adjustable opacity

Go cinematic or dial it back for a denser coding session.

02Backdrop blur

Your desktop stays recognizable without fighting the text.

03Solid mode included

One click removes transparency whenever focus needs to win.

The terminal, upgraded

Less command memorizing. More building.

Glass Terminal keeps the power of the command line and adds the small layer of polish AI-assisted coding has been missing.

01

A real native terminal

Your shell, your dotfiles, your tools. Glass Terminal runs a native macOS PTY instead of pretending to be one in a web view.

02

Agent Center

See which coding agents are installed and launch the right mode without remembering another flag or command.

03

Glass that stays usable

Cinematic transparency when you want it. A focused solid mode when the code needs your full attention.

04

Local-first by design

No bundled AI account, no cloud backend and no mystery proxy between you and the CLI tools you already trust.

Agent Center

Your coding agents. One command surface.

Glass Terminal detects the CLIs installed on your Mac and gives each one a clean launch point. Nothing bundled. Nothing locked in.

Local means local

Your terminal should not become another cloud account.

Glass Terminal has no product backend. The optional Agent Bridge stays on 127.0.0.1, is off by default and keeps risky actions behind explicit permission modes.

  • No bundled model or hidden proxy
  • Ask Every Time is the default
  • Local audit trail with secret redaction
  • No dangerous permission bypasses

Good to know

Before you open a new tab.

Does Glass Terminal replace my shell?+

No. It gives your existing zsh or compatible shell a native, visual home. Your commands, configuration and CLI tools remain yours.

Do I need a separate AI subscription?+

Glass Terminal does not bundle an AI model. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode use their own installed CLIs and account setup.

Does my code leave my Mac?+

Glass Terminal has no product cloud backend. Any network activity comes from the commands and agent CLIs you choose to run.

Which Macs are supported?+

The founding build is for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 12 or newer. Intel support is not included in this release.
