The story

The Termi Protocol is a control room for AI coding agents that visualizes terminal activity in 3D. It works with any CLI-based AI coding agent like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others, giving you full visibility into what your agents are doing in real time. Instead of scrolling through terminal logs, you watch every file read, command execution, and code change happen live in an interactive 3D environment. The platform solves three core problems: opacity (you can't see what agents do), lost context (closing the terminal loses your work), and runaway agents (bad edits or commands). Termi keeps everything visible, saves your progress between sessions, and lets you pause, approve, or rewind any step. It includes a real terminal per agent, task boards, checkpoints for reverting changes, live cost tracking, and project memory that persists across sessions.

Overview

The Termi Protocol is a visual control center designed for developers who run AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. It transforms the opaque experience of watching agents work in a terminal into an interactive 3D workspace where every action is visible and controllable. The platform runs agents locally on your machine with your own API keys, ensuring your code never leaves your system.

The core value is visibility and control. Instead of reading scrolling terminal logs, you watch agents walk to a cabinet to read files, sit down to write code, and execute commands in real time as 3D actions. You can pause, approve, or rewind any step, and every session is saved so you can pick up where you left off without losing context. The platform includes a command center with a real shell, task boards, checkpoints for reverting changes, live token and cost tracking, and automatic project memory for each agent.

Termi works with any CLI-based AI coding agent and supports multi-agent workflows with file locking to prevent collisions. It includes gamification features like XP tracking and a global leaderboard, plus customizable workspace design with agent desks, room editing tools, and a pet system that grows with your coding activity. The product is offered as a one-time lifetime purchase with no subscription, and future features are included in the founding backer price.

Key features

3D Agent Visualization

Watch every file read, code write, and command execution happen live as 3D actions in an interactive workspace instead of scrolling terminal logs.

Full Session Persistence

Task boards, checkpoints, and project memory are saved automatically so you can close the app and pick up exactly where you left off without losing context.

Real Terminal and Command Center

Each agent gets a genuine shell with a full command center showing live token costs, tasks, checkpoints, and memory in one unified panel.

Checkpoint and Rewind

Every change is snapshotted so you can rewind a bad edit in seconds and restore your code to any previous state.

Multi-Agent Coordination

Run multiple agents simultaneously with file locking to prevent collisions and cross-CLI handoff capabilities for complex workflows.

Approval Alerts and Control

Agents pause when they need your approval, and Termi sends notifications so you can approve or reject steps without watching the screen constantly.

Use cases

1
Vibe Coding Visibility
Developers who use AI agents for exploratory coding can now see exactly what their agents are doing instead of guessing from terminal logs.
2
Multi-Agent Project Management
Teams running multiple AI coding agents can coordinate work in one workspace with file locks, task boards, and shared project memory.
3
Cost Tracking and Optimization
Developers can monitor live token and dollar costs per agent and per session to understand and optimize their AI coding expenses.
4
Session Recovery and Context Preservation
Long-running projects can be paused and resumed without losing context, allowing developers to step away and return to their agents' work seamlessly.

FAQ

What AI coding agents does Termi work with?

Termi works with any CLI-based AI coding agent including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Grok CLI, Aider, Ollama, Cursor, and others. You bring your own API keys and agents.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment of $6.99 locks in lifetime access with no auto-renew, usage caps, or surprise bills. All future protocols are included.

Does Termi see my code?

No. Your agents run locally on your machine with your own API keys. Your code stays on your machine by design.

What happens when I close the app?

Your task boards, checkpoints, and each agent's project memory are saved automatically. Reopen the room and pick up from where you stopped with your history intact.

Which platforms are supported?

Termi is available for macOS and Windows. You download the app immediately after backing.
