ThinkTerm
by RoversX
ThinkTerm is a terminal app built on WezTerm with a built-in multiplexer, so your shells and coding agents keep running after you close the window. You can reconnect to the same sessions from the desktop app, a browser or a text interface, on local or remote machines.

What you can do with it
- Keep shells, builds and coding agents running after closing the window, then reattach later from another device
- Manage local and remote machines in one sidebar using SSH, Mosh or persistent sessions
- See the status of several coding agents at once and script terminal panes with the command-line tool
Make money with it
A freelance developer could use it to run several coding agents in parallel on client projects and so take on more work at once.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Run long builds and AI coding agents on a remote server and check on them from a laptop or browser without losing progress
- Manage client or project servers from one workspace, reducing the need for separate remote-desktop or terminal subscriptions
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use. Anything you distribute that includes it must be open-sourced under the same licence.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Download a release from GitHub, or on macOS install it with Homebrew using "brew install --cask roversx/tap/thinkterm".
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- GPL-3.0 licence, which matters if you plan to build it into a closed-source product
- iOS and Android clients are still in development
- Sessions do not survive a server restart or host reboot
- Relatively young project with a modest community
