~/ terminal-dashboard

Every shell, one screen.

A browser cockpit of floating, draggable terminal windows — each backed by a real shell (PTY) on your machine. Tile them, group them into projects, theme them, and reconnect without losing a session.

▶ Try the demo ★ View on GitHub Quick start

Runs entirely on localhost. Your shells never leave your machine.
The demo is the real UI with no backend — click around, but shells won't run. Install to get live shells.

Terminal Dashboard: floating shells tiling into a grid, theme picker, filesystem tree, command palette, a mini-game while a command runs — Floating shells → tile into a grid → theme picker → filesystem tree → palette (⌘K) → play a game while a command runs.

Why not just tmux or iTerm?

You get tmux's session persistence plus a point-and-click GUI you don't have to learn — floating windows, projects, and themes in the browser you already have open, on macOS, Windows, and Linux alike.

🪟

Floating windows

Drag, resize, tile into a grid, tabs per pane. Group windows into project tabs and switch context instantly.

🔌

Session reattach

Refresh the browser or drop your connection — the shell keeps running. A 60s grace timer holds the PTY and replays the buffer.

🧷

Durable with tmux

With tmux installed, shells survive a server restart or crash — not just a browser refresh.

🗂️

Real filesystem tree

A live sidebar rooted at the active project. Open a shell in any folder; reveal files in Finder/Explorer.

⌘

Command palette

⌘K for fuzzy actions, sessions, and reusable snippets. Broadcast input to every shell in a project.

🎨

Themes & polish

Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox, Tokyo Night, Catppuccin and more. GPU rendering, font zoom, clickable links, pixel pets.

Quick start

Requires Node.js 18+. No build step, no Electron.

# no clone — fetch and run in one command
npx github:kiril6/termdeck

# …or clone it: first-time setup picks the right node-pty prebuilt for your OS
node install.js
# run the server → http://localhost:3000
npm start

This is a local-first tool, not a static site. Its core is a Node process that spawns real PTYs — so it runs on your machine, not on GitHub Pages. This page is just the showcase; grab the code and run it locally.
