Termy
For running coding agents on a Mac: pull down a terminal from the notch
What is Termy
Termy is a Mac app for running coding agents that lets you pull down a terminal from the notch. It is free, and Pro is a one-time $4.99 purchase with a 14-day trial.
How to use
- Download Termy for Mac (macOS 26 or later) or install it with Homebrew: brew tap ycankasal/termy && brew trust --tap ycankasal/termy && brew install --cask termy.
- Make sure Claude Code or Codex CLI is installed.
- Hover the notch, click the menu bar icon or press ⌥` to drop down the terminal panel.
- Termy opens a tab for every project open in Xcode, VS Code or Cursor;
- drop any folder on the notch to add one.
- Each tab starts Claude Code or Codex in its project;
- watch live status and tool activity under the notch.
- Approve or deny commands from the notch or notifications, and press ⌥V to dictate prompts.
Use cases
- Monitoring Claude Code and Codex sessions from the MacBook notch Approving agent commands without switching windows Running agents in multiple projects with split view and git worktrees Checkpointing and restoring project state before each prompt Tracking token usage and estimated cost per project Dictating prompts locally with Whisper
FAQ
Which agents does Termy work with?
Claude Code and Codex CLI get the full experience: exact status, tool activity, approvals from the notch and plan-usage bars, because Termy uses both agents' hook systems. Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Amp and a plain shell also run in Termy, but their status is read from the terminal output, which is a guess rather than a fact. A few features read Claude's own files and are Claude-only: the session browser, conversation search, tracking sessions started outside Termy, and cost in usage insights. Pick your agent in Settings → Agent.
What if my Mac doesn't have a notch?
Everything still works from the menu bar icon, whose color follows the agent's status, and from notifications. You only need a notch for the notch pill and the Allow / Deny box.
Does Termy send my code anywhere?
No. Termy runs on your Mac. Claude Code and Codex talk to their own services as usual, and Termy doesn't add anything to that. Termy itself only connects to the internet to check your Pro purchase (with an anonymous id), to check for updates, and to download a Whisper speech model once if you choose to. Dictation with Whisper runs entirely on your Mac.
Will checkpoints mess up my git history?
No. Snapshots are stored as separate git refs, never on your branches. Creating one doesn't change your staged files. Restoring one takes a safety snapshot first, so you can undo it.
How exact are the cost numbers?
They're estimates: token counts from Claude Code's transcripts, priced at the public API rates. If you use a Claude subscription, you're billed by your plan instead. The numbers are still a good way to compare projects and days.
What do I need?
macOS 26 or later, and Claude Code (the claude command) or Codex CLI (codex) installed. A MacBook with a notch gets the full experience.
