Kero

A terminal for coding agents, on macOS, Windows and Linux.

Run Claude Code, Codex, a dev server or a test watcher each in its own session. Kero groups sessions by project in a sidebar that shows which are working, which need you and which are done.

• Sessions outlive the window. They run in kerod, a small daemon, so quitting Kero leaves them running. Reopen it and every pane and its scrollback is back.
• Status at a glance. Each pane is working, waiting, idle, error or exited. ⌘ J jumps to the one that needs you, and Kero notifies you when an agent finishes, fails or is blocked.
• A CLI agents can drive. kero starts sessions, splits panes, types into them, waits on them and reads their screens.
• Ghostty under the hood. Terminals render with libghostty, so Ghostty themes, fonts and config keys just work.
