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.
A beautiful, native terminal built for Claude Code, Codex and the way vibe coders actually work.
Built around the tools already in your workflow
Real desktop transparency
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.
~/glass-terminal
Go cinematic or dial it back for a denser coding session.
Your desktop stays recognizable without fighting the text.
One click removes transparency whenever focus needs to win.
The terminal, upgraded
Glass Terminal keeps the power of the command line and adds the small layer of polish AI-assisted coding has been missing.
Your shell, your dotfiles, your tools. Glass Terminal runs a native macOS PTY instead of pretending to be one in a web view.
See which coding agents are installed and launch the right mode without remembering another flag or command.
Cinematic transparency when you want it. A focused solid mode when the code needs your full attention.
No bundled AI account, no cloud backend and no mystery proxy between you and the CLI tools you already trust.
Agent Center
Glass Terminal detects the CLIs installed on your Mac and gives each one a clean launch point. Nothing bundled. Nothing locked in.

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.
Founding drop
The first 1,000 copies launch for less than a coffee. Own it once, keep it forever, help shape what comes next.
