One project, several directions
Launch sessions in your project or an isolated git worktree. Organize them into folders and compare terminals in a grid.
A home for your coding agents
Many agents.
One place to work.
Run Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents side by side. Keep their terminals, conversations, and project context together in DuckTerm.

An agent at work
Recorded in the real DuckTerm dashboard. All projects, sessions, and messages in this demo are fictional.
Works with your toolsClaude CodeCodexCopilotCustom commands
Less window switching
The context stays with the work.
Give each agent a focused task. See where it stands, pick up its conversation, and keep related sessions together.
Find the reply you need
Read structured messages alongside the terminal. Pin individual messages and jump back to the exact reply.
Let agents ask each other
Session cards and inboxes help agents exchange questions. Review folder interactions and message a group yourself.
Ask about your running agents
Use Oracle chat to ask what is happening across sessions, with answers kept together in a docked conversation.
Carry your instructions forward
Manage AGENTS.md, install reusable meta-harnesses, and keep notes and checkpoints with each session.
Keep control of your workspace
DuckTerm runs locally. Your agent CLIs use their existing accounts; optional connectors and backups go to services you configure.
A familiar workflow
Start small. Add another agent.
Choose your project
Open New → New session. Pick an installed agent and the folder it should work in.
Give it a task
Type straight into the terminal. Work in place or keep changes separate in a git worktree.
Stay in the loop
Return to any session’s terminal or messages. Use folders, pins, and Oracle to keep track as the work grows.
