Termcanvas, a desktop application by Blueberrycongee, offers a visual terminal workspace and mission control for autonomous AI development on the mcp platform. Built with JavaScript and Electron, it runs on Node.js, providing a spatial organization method for developers managing multiple repositories, shells, and AI agents. Distributed via GitHub Releases as pre-built binaries for macOS, it supports both Apple Silicon and Intel, with an option to build from source using pnpm. Termcanvas aims to simplify the visual management of AI coding agents and local terminal sessions.

What does Termcanvas connect to?

Termcanvas connects to and manages local terminal sessions while integrating with various AI coding agents. It functions as a visual terminal workspace and mission control for autonomous AI development. The program organizes terminals within a Project → Worktree → Terminal hierarchy, mirroring Git usage concepts. It is compatible with AI clients such as Claude Code, Codex, Kimi, Gemini, and OpenCode. Termcanvas also installs specific skills and lifecycle hooks to enable Claude/Codex agents to operate within the live agent tree.

Core features and tools

Termcanvas exposes CLI tools including termcanvas and hydra. Documented termcanvas commands are project add, terminal create, terminal status, telemetry get, and diff. Documented hydra commands are init-repo, spawn, and watch. The application also provides a Free Canvas tool for drawing and annotating. Pins offer project memory, connecting to external services like Linear, Feishu, Notion, and GitHub Issues. These tools support visual management and orchestration of development tasks and AI agents.

Who is it for?

Termcanvas targets developers who manage numerous repositories, shells, AI agents, and long-running tasks. It provides a spatial organization method that goes beyond traditional tabs or split panes, helping users maintain context across complex development environments. The program is suited for those seeking a visual approach to orchestrating AI coding agents and persistent project memory. This is not the right fit if you require explicit details on supported transport protocols for MCP server functionality.

How to get started

No credentials are required for Termcanvas itself.

Use cases

• Spatially organizing and managing multiple live terminal sessions on an infinite canvas, allowing users to pan, zoom, and arrange them freely.
• Orchestrating AI coding agents via Lead-driven workflows using the hydra system, where a main terminal guides decisions while worker terminals operate autonomously.
• Maintaining project memory and context using Pins to attach screenshots, logs, decisions, and next actions directly to the project, aiding handoffs between agents, humans, or automated pipelines.
