Tabs — Many Terminals, One Window
Open as many tabs as you need — each is its own real shell with its own working directory, scrollback, and AI session. ⌘T to open, ⌘1–9 / ⌘⇧[ ] to switch; each tab's title shows its folder, and a command you approve in one tab only ever runs in that tab.
⬛
Splits — Side by Side
Split any tab into resizable panes — each its own real shell — and lay them out however you work. ⌘D splits right, ⌘⇧D down, ⌘⌥arrows move focus; drag the divider to resize. A new split opens in the folder you were already in, and your keystrokes only ever go to the focused pane.
💾
Saved Workspaces
Your tabs, splits, and working directories come back exactly as you left them when you relaunch. Save named layouts and reopen a whole project setup — every terminal in the right folder — in a single step.
🤖
Agent Mode — Manual or Autopilot, Always Fenced
Give it a goal. With /agent it works step by step — proposes each command, you approve every one. With /auto (Autopilot) it runs on its own, but only auto-executes commands the safety policy classifies as safe for the current project; risky, destructive, network, sensitive, and build/dependency steps pause for your one-tap approval or block outright. Both pass the same safety gate and your Safety Profile — so on a locked-down machine, anything destructive is blocked outright, even in Autopilot.
📋
Runbooks — Save & Replay
Save a multi-step sequence once — or capture it straight from commands you just ran with ⌘⌥R — with {{variables}} you fill in at run time, then replay it with a single pre-flight approval. Destructive steps are flagged up front, and if one fails you can /fix and retry from exactly where it stopped. Chain steps by feeding one step's output into the next with {{step1.output}}.
🔄
Automatic Updates
When a new version is ready, a subtle “Update ready — Install & Relaunch” pill appears in the status bar — no modal interrupting your session, and no silent background install that never lands on an app you leave open for days. Signed, notarized, delivered as tiny delta updates.
✨
Propose, Then Confirm
Plain English streams into an editable command with a green / amber / red risk badge — press Return to run, edit to change, Esc to discard. Risky commands never run without your confirmation; in Autopilot only provably-safe steps run on their own.
⌨️
One Unified Input
Type a shell command or plain English in one place — no modes. A local classifier routes it; start with “?” to force AI, or a space to force a literal command.
🩺
Fixes & Explains
/fix reads a failed command's exact output — plus your repo, branch, and language — and proposes a correction shown side by side with the original, saveable as a runbook in one click. /explain (⌘⇧E) gives a plain-English read of any output — line by line if you want.

Bring Your Own AI
Run it your way — free: local & private with Ollama, or your own key for OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq, Gemini, DeepSeek and more (everything stays on your Mac). Pro plugs in your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription via the official CLIs, plus Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, and a managed on-device Apple-Silicon (MLX) engine.
🔒
One Security Gate
Every command — typed, translated, or AI-suggested — passes a single, type-enforced safety check, red-teamed against ~30 evasion tricks. Switch Safety Profiles (Personal → Work → Production → Locked Down) to make the gate as strict as the machine you're on. Audit log of every decision.

Rollback Suggestions
Before you run something destructive, AITerm offers a conservative way back when one safely exists — an inverse command (git checkout -, mv back, rmdir) or a backup-first step (cp -a … .bak). It stays quiet rather than inventing a fake “undo.”
🛡️
Private by Design
Local models never leave your Mac. Cloud requests go straight to your provider on your account — no middle server — with keys, tokens, and secrets redacted first.
🖥️
A Real Terminal
Full PTY terminal: vim, top, ssh, colors, Ctrl-C, and tab-completion all work — with AI on top, not bolted on the side.
🧰
Built-in Power Tools
Command palette (⌘K), model manager to pull and switch Ollama models, fuzzy history search (by command or the plain English you typed), live git-branch status, themes, share-a-fix cards, and onboarding.
The native AI terminal — free forever. Private local AI, set up for you on first run. Bring your own cloud key — everything stays on your Mac. Pro adds your Claude / ChatGPT subscription + automation. No account needed to start.
