Herminal

Herminal is a native macOS terminal built for developers who spend their day inside Claude Code and similar coding agents. It embeds libghostty, the terminal core written in Zig with a Metal renderer, inside a Swift and AppKit shell that adds features other terminals lack: a Vietnamese Telex input method, an agent dashboard and per session notes. It is released under the MIT license and runs on Apple Silicon with macOS 14 or later. The agent dashboard detects when claude, codex or aider is running in any tab within about two seconds, including npm installed and Python wrapped processes, and shows a status badge and the tab each agent belongs to. An agent cockpit can create an isolated git worktree and open it in a new tab running the agent you choose, so two fixes can proceed in separate checkouts. Shortcuts open agent panes, tabs and lazygit, and tmux sessions can be created, named and attached from the sidebar. A Claude session browser reads Claude Code's own session store so you can pick up earlier conversations, and per session notes stay beside the terminal instead of in a separate notes app. The site stresses a local first design with no telemetry and no account, and the download is a notarized 6 MB build for arm64. Source code is available to view. This suits developers on Mac who run several coding agents in parallel and want the terminal to track them. No price is listed. The app is published as an MIT licensed download and the site shows no paid tier.
