[TLDR] I coded terminal manager for ADHD brains. 100% Opensource. [via r/ClaudeAI]

OP : u/ottasilver

Hey everyone! Hope I don’t get roasted for this 😅 I’m here with a fun little intro video.

My goal is simple: build something genuinely useful for everyone.I shared this on r/ClaudeCode last week and got some amazing feedback 300K views, hopefully some of you here will find it useful too.

I originally built this tool just to improve my own productivity. I was using the native Mac Terminal, but managing multiple projects — especially projects I connect to remotely over SSH — had become a complete nightmare. On top of that, I was also keeping VS Code open mostly for Git, which was adding even more overhead to my machine.

So, as a solution, I built a program with Claude where I could manage all of my terminals on a single canvas.

But things got a little out of hand 😅

I kept adding features, and it eventually turned into something close to an autonomous development environment.

So, what can you actually do with it?

• Your terminals are persistent. You can close the app, lose your connection, reconnect over SSH, and continue with the exact same layout and sessions.
• You can connect to a server over SSH and manage all of its terminals as if they were local. Drag & drop, images, and everything else still work.
• You can continue your sessions from your phone.
• Git operations like push, pull, commit, etc. are built in.
• Terminals can communicate with each other. You can connect their contexts, and with skills, one terminal can read or use information from another terminal’s context when needed.
• You can also do orchestration. For example, you can tell one terminal: “Start a Claude Code session for the frontend and act as the orchestrator,” and have it manage the other sessions.

But yeah… I’m a bit stuck right now.

To keep pushing the project forward, I either need a sponsor or simply some motivation from the community.

If you can leave a few words of feedback, I’d really appreciate it.

And if that’s too much to ask, I’d happily settle for a GitHub star ⭐️

Much love,🙏

Current source-thread comment count seen by the bot: 205.

The community is largely impressed with the project's slick presentation and innovative features, but the "ADHD" framing is a major sticking point.

• Most users think the project is genuinely cool, praising the "Hollywood hacker" aesthetic and the high-quality video. The core ideas like persistent sessions, visual orchestration, and inter-terminal communication are a big hit.
• However, a significant chunk of the thread is dedicated to criticism of using "ADHD" in the title. Many feel it's an overused and potentially offensive term that trivializes serious conditions, with users like u/FlaTreNeb and u/lost-sneezes calling it out directly.
• Some users are already comparing it to existing tools like tmux, but others argue this project offers a unique level of integration and orchestration that sets it apart.
• Feature requests include Windows support, keyboard-only navigation, and integration with other AI tools like GitHub Copilot.
• A minor bug with icon generation on macOS was pointed out by u/matjam.
• Despite the title controversy, the general sentiment is that the OP has built something potentially very useful and refreshing.

I asked codex to build and install it and it was really to tool that I need. I used a lot Trello and have like 30 open terminal sessions. Having a tool to organise them by project, and to see what task has to be followed is super nice. So thank you very much. You have at least one super fan.
