A 7MB terminal-first AI-native dev workspace combining a GPU terminal, code editor, git graph, and agentic AI panel.
Core Features
- GPU-accelerated terminal: multi-tab, split panels, WebGL rendering, native PTY backend (zsh/bash/pwsh/fish/cmd), inline search, true-color
- Built-in code editor: CodeMirror 6, supports all popular languages, Vim mode, AI autocomplete, edit diffs with hunk-by-hunk accept/reject
- Source control with git graph: stage/unstage hunks, commit, push, real commit graph with lane rendering for merges
- Agentic AI side-panel: BYOK providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, local) and local models (LM Studio, Ollama); agentic workflows, composer, plan mode
- Web preview: auto-detects local dev servers, external URL preview via native child webview
What It Can't Do
- •Windows: first launch shows 'Windows protected your PC' because Terax is not code-signed; click 'More info' then 'Run anyway'. Linux AppImage requires FUSE; if rendering glitches on Wayland, set WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1. WSL is treated as a first-class workspace environment, not a wrapped subprocess. Local model inference requires separate setup of LM Studio, MLX, or Ollama.
Use Cases
- Full-stack development: code, debug, preview web apps, manage Git in a single lightweight terminal-centric workspace
- AI-assisted programming: generate code, refactor, explain with AI panel; support local models for data privacy
Detailed Introduction
Terax is an open-source terminal-first development workspace that combines a GPU-accelerated terminal (via WebGL), a CodeMirror 6 code editor, source control with git history graph, file explorer, web preview pane, and an agentic AI side-panel. Built on Tauri 2 + Rust and React 19, it occupies only 7-8 MB on disk and works offline. AI supports BYOK providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, local models) with agentic workflows, composer, and plan mode. Compared to heavy IDEs like VSCode or terminal emulators like Warp, Terax is dramatically lighter and respects privacy (no telemetry, no accounts). Cross-platform: macOS, Linux, Windows.
