3 months ago

ForgeTerm is an open-source terminal emulator built for developers who juggle multiple projects at once.

Key features: - Workspaces: group related projects and open them all with one click - Auto-tiling: windows arranged side-by-side, master-detail, or grid based on project count - Per-project color theming so you can tell windows apart at a glance (10 built-in presets + Peacock sync for VS Code) - Automatic sessions: define named terminal sessions (dev server, test watcher, shell) that auto-launch with each project - Import from VS Code Project Manager in one click — works with Cursor and Windsurf too - Per-project .forgeterm.json config that travels with the repo

Currently ships as a macOS DMG for Apple Silicon (v0.2.0). Windows/Linux/Intel Mac: build from source with `pnpm build`.

Looking for feedback, contributors, and bug reporters. All contributions welcome!
