GETTING STARTED / v0.1.0
A little room
to build.
llterm is a native terminal workspace for your existing shells and coding agents. The current preview is available for Apple Silicon Macs.
Install on macOS
- Download the archive below and verify its checksum if desired.
- Extract the ZIP and move
llterm.appinto your Applications folder. - Open llterm. Use + or
⌘Nto add a terminal.
This early preview is ad-hoc signed and is not Apple-notarized. macOS may block it. Only open software you trust; the checksum below identifies the exact published archive. Intel Mac and Windows downloads are not available in this release.
Verify the download
Download the SHA-256 checksum file beside the ZIP, then run this in that directory:
shasum -a 256 -c llterm-0.1.0-macos-arm64.zip.sha256Make a workspace

⌘⇧Topens the theme picker. A recognized CLI’s theme is remembered.
Bring your agents
Run an installed CLI in any shell, or choose an installed profile from Launch. On macOS, llterm detects known local foreground harnesses, including Codex and Grok, through aliases and native launch wrappers.
Identifying a CLI and understanding its current activity are separate. Supported provider hooks supply lifecycle evidence. Without that evidence, the activity badge stays Unknown. Silence never becomes Done by itself. Use the state badge for evidence details and a manual override.
Provider setup and detailed compatibility notes are bundled inside the application at Contents/Resources/docs/INTEGRATIONS.md. llterm does not replace your agent’s authentication or permission settings.
What gets remembered?
Pane layout, directories, titles, and theme preferences are saved locally. Reopening a workspace starts fresh shells. Running processes and arbitrary prior commands are not automatically restored.
CPU, GPU, and memory charts retain at most 60 readings in a circular buffer, with samples every two seconds and a two-minute age cutoff. No system telemetry history is written to disk. Terminal scrollback is bounded in memory by default.
Preview status
macOS Apple Silicon is the currently tested native host. Windows, full accessibility, and broader provider approval flows still need validation. The application includes the detailed acceptance report. iOS and Android companions for optional remote access are in development.
